Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed extra firm tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy, then remove tofu and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup trimmed snow peas, stir-frying for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are bright and just tender.
  4. Step 4: Stir together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the vegetables and return the tofu to the skillet.
  5. Step 5: Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes so the tofu absorbs the sauce and it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.

How do I scale Quick Soy-Ginger Stir-Fried Tofu with Broccoli and Snow Peas for a different number of people?
