Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp canola oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 14 oz firm tofu cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
Step 2: In the same wok, add remaining 1 tbsp canola oil. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp brown sugar to the wok. Stir the sauce for 1 minute until sugar dissolves and sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Return tofu to the wok along with 2 cups trimmed snow peas. Toss everything together and cook for 2 minutes until peas are bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
