Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 ounces firm tofu, drained and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Press tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot; stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Return tofu to the skillet.
  7. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry.
  8. Pour sauce over tofu and vegetables; stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until sauce thickens.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
  10. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

Pressing the tofu well before cooking helps achieve a crispier texture. Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables or add chili flakes for heat.
