1
Prepare the Tofu
Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Wash and chop the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking. Set aside.
3
Mince the Garlic and Ginger
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves and ginger.

4
Sauté the Tofu
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides.
5
Add Garlic and Ginger
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet with the tofu. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6
Cook the Vegetables
Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
7
Season the Dish
Pour the soy sauce over the tofu and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine and let cook for another 2 minutes.
8
Finish and Serve
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish and toss to combine. If using, add chili flakes and chopped green onions. Serve hot.
