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.
