Method
Preparation
Press the Tofu
Wrap the firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture for about 15 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
Cooking
Cube the Tofu
Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Coat with Cornstarch
In a large bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Fry the Tofu
Add the tofu cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Add Vegetables
If using, add chopped red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and sliced carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 5 minutes.
Add Sauce
Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture over the tofu and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
