HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Press excess water from the tofu, then cut it into 1-inch cubes. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and cornstarch to create the sauce.

02

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

03

Add tofu cubes to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crispy.

04

Add broccoli florets and sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

05

Stir in the sliced bell pepper and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

06

Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Stir constantly for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats everything.

07

Remove from heat and serve immediately, optionally over steamed rice or noodles.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a subtle kick. Ensure your tofu is well-pressed to achieve the best crispy texture.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, or bok choy. Tamari can be used instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option. Agave nectar or honey can replace sugar if you prefer a touch of sweetness in the sauce.
