Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Wash and chop the bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the snap peas and set aside.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Cook the Tofu

    Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

  6. 6

    Stir-Fry the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Then, add the bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  7. 7

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle sesame seeds on top, and serve immediately.
