Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 14 ounces extra-firm tofu and cut into 1-inch cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden and crisp. Remove tofu and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons sesame oil to the skillet. Stir in 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups trimmed snow peas and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Return the tofu to the skillet and drizzle with 3 tablespoons soy sauce. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced green onions before serving.
