Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 oz cubed firm tofu and fry for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden and crisp. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp sesame oil, then sauté 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 1 julienned carrot, 1 sliced bell pepper, and 1 cup snow peas, stir-frying for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 4: Return the tofu to the skillet and pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp mirin. Stir-fry everything together for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the tofu and vegetables.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving hot.
