Instructions

1. Step 1: Press 400g firm tofu between paper towels for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, toss tofu cubes with 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated.
3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the tofu cubes and fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
4. Step 4: In the same wok, add 2 tbsp sesame oil, then sauté 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Step 5: Add 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 sliced yellow bell pepper, and 1 cup shredded purple cabbage to the wok. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Step 6: Return tofu to the wok, pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1/4 cup water, and stir well to combine. Cook an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu and vegetables.
7. Step 7: Sprinkle 3 sliced green onions, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, and 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (if using) on top. Toss gently and serve immediately.
