Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press and drain 14 oz firm tofu, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss the cubes gently with 1 tsp cornstarch to help crisp when cooking.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crisp on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 julienned carrot, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 cup broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Return the tofu to the wok, pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp water. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and vegetables.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
