Ingredients

  • Firm tofu - 200 grams
  • Bell pepper (red or yellow) - 1 medium, sliced
  • Broccoli florets - 100 grams
  • Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
  • Green onions - 2, chopped
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
  • Curry powder - 1 tablespoon
  • Coconut milk - 100 ml
  • Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste
  • Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

  1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
  2. In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  6. Return the cooked tofu to the pan, then add soy sauce, curry powder, and coconut milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  7. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
