Main Ingredients

Method

Prepare Tofu

  1. 1

    Press tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Toss tofu cubes in cornstarch until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry tofu until all sides are golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.

Prepare Sauce

  1. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, chili flakes, water, and cornstarch until smooth.

Cook Vegetables and Combine

  1. 5

    In the same skillet, sauté onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

  2. 6

    Add the crispy tofu back to the skillet and pour the sauce over the mixture.

  3. 7

    Toss everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the tofu and vegetables evenly.

  4. 8

    Sprinkle chopped green onions on top before serving.
