Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Cornstarch - 3 tablespoons
• Vegetable oil - 3 tablespoons
• Bell pepper (sliced) - 1 medium
• Broccoli florets - 150 grams
• Carrot (sliced) - 1 medium
• Soy sauce - 4 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions (sliced) - 2 stalks
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
2. In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until well coated.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
4. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer and fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Stir-fry the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
6. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
7. Return the crispy tofu to the skillet, then pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
8. Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
