Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    Wash and chop all vegetables as directed. Set the broccoli florets, bell pepper, carrot, snow peas, and green onions aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Stir-fry the Tofu

    In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Stir-fry the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a bit more sesame oil if necessary. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  3. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water until well combined.

  4. 6

    Combine Everything

    Return the tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped cilantro on top before serving. Enjoy your Vegetable Tofu over rice or noodles if desired!
