Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Broccoli florets - 150 grams
• Bell pepper (red or yellow) - 1 medium
• Carrot - 1 medium
• Snap peas - 100 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cornstarch - 1 teaspoon
• Water - 50 ml
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped

Steps

1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
2. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water together to create a marinade.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Return the tofu to the skillet and pour the marinade over the mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
