Instructions

Step 1: Press 1 block of tofu (14 oz) for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup snap peas and 1 cup bell peppers, cut into 1-inch strips. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Step 3: Add the tofu cubes and cook for 5 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. Stir in 2 tbsp grated ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Step 4: Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Garnish with 1 tbsp sesame seeds and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
