Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 14 oz pressed and cubed firm tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden and slightly crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same wok, add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Step 3: Add 1 julienned medium carrot, 1 cup trimmed snow peas, and 1 small sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Step 4: Return tofu to the wok and pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Toss everything together for 2 minutes so the sauce coats the tofu and vegetables evenly.
5. Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 2 sliced green onions, 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on top before serving hot.
