Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 14 oz pressed and cubed tofu dry with paper towels. Toss with 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated, then set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Add 2 cups trimmed snap peas and 1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender and bright green.
  5. Step 5: Return tofu to the skillet, pour in the soy sauce mixture, and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients evenly.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat, stir in 3 sliced scallions, and serve immediately over rice or noodles.
