Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 14 ounces firm tofu cut into 1-inch cubes 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 pan, add 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup broccoli florets, and 1 julienned medium carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 4: Return the crispy tofu to the pan and pour in 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through and coated in sauce.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds before serving.
