Ingredients

• Firm Tofu - 200 grams, cubed
• Mushrooms (shiitake or button) - 150 grams, sliced
• Bell Pepper (red or yellow) - 1 medium, sliced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy Sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame Oil - 1 tablespoon
• Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon
• Green Onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Cornstarch - 1 teaspoon (optional for crispiness)
• Salt - to taste
• Black Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Press the cubed tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture for about 10 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the mushrooms, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
5. Return the tofu to the skillet with the vegetables and stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch (if using). Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add chopped green onions just before serving.
