Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press 14 oz firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tsp cornstarch and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy on all sides; transfer to a plate.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Add 1 tbsp minced ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup sliced bell peppers, and 1 cup snap peas. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant green.
  5. Step 5: Return tofu to the skillet. Add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 cup water. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.
