Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Broccoli florets - 150 grams
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced
• Soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free) - 3 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce. Stir well to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
8. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
