Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz firm tofu cubes and pan-fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.

Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/2 tsp red chili flakes until smooth.
Step 5: Return tofu to the wok, pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
