Ingredients

  • ½ block of firm tofu pressed and cubed
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • ½ bell pepper thinly sliced (any color you prefer)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tablespoon ginger grated
  • 1½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon sesame oil
  • ½ tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ tablespoon cornstarch optional, for extra thickness
  • 1 green onion sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into cubes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add the tofu cubes and stir-fry until they become golden brown on all sides. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the tofu is browned, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
  • In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant.
  • Add broccoli florets and bell pepper slices to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, mix 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch with a bit of water to create a slurry. Add it to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the cooked tofu back to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated.
  • Serve the stir-fry over 1 cup of cooked rice.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
