Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Chef's knife
  • Large non-stick skillet or wok
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Mixing bowls
  • Tongs or chopsticks
  • Paper towels

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu:

  • Press the tofu for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut it into 1-inch cubes.
    In a mixing bowl, toss the tofu cubes with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and cornstarch until evenly coated.

Cook the Tofu:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    Add the tofu cubes and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
    Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
    Add the sliced bell peppers, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Combine and Serve:

  • Return the cooked tofu to the skillet with the vegetables.
    Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and chili flakes (if using). Stir everything together to coat the tofu and vegetables evenly.
    Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
    Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
    Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
