Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press 14 oz firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp cornstarch.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp cooking oil in a wok over high heat. Add tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 inch minced ginger to the wok, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 sliced bell pepper and 1 cup broccoli florets, and stir-fry for 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Return tofu to wok. Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sriracha, and 1 tsp sugar. Cook for 2 minutes until sauce coats vegetables and tofu.
