Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz firm tofu cubes and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until all sides are golden and crisp. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp sesame oil, then add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms and 2 cups trimmed snow peas. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 4: Return the tofu to the skillet and drizzle 3 tbsp soy sauce over everything. Toss gently and cook for 2 more minutes to combine flavors.
Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 sliced green onions, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving hot.
