Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press 14 oz firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water (wrap in paper towels, place under a heavy pan). Cut into 1/2-inch cubes and toss with 1 teaspoon cornstarch to coat evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves to create the sauce.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil if needed. Stir-fry 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 diced red bell pepper, and 1 medium grated carrot for 5-6 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Return tofu to the skillet, pour the sauce over, and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens. Stir in 1 tablespoon sesame oil before serving for a glossy finish.
