Ingredients

• Extra-firm tofu - 200 grams
• Broccoli florets - 100 grams
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Snow peas - 100 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons (ensure it's kosher)
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Return the tofu to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce. Stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
7. Remove from heat, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
