Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes.

  2. 2

    Fry the Tofu

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Stir-fry the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add the broccoli, Napa cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, snow peas, water chestnuts, zucchini, and baby corn. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  4. 4

    Make the Brown Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water.

  5. 5

    Combine Everything

    Add the fried tofu back into the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the brown sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat everything. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot over rice or noodles.
