Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Press the tofu between paper towels for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 10-12 minutes). Remove from the pan.
- In the same pan, add minced garlic followed by bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Sauté until vegetables are tender yet crisp (5-7 minutes).
- Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Pour this mixture over the sautéed veggies.
- Return crispy tofu to the pan and gently toss everything together for about two minutes to combine flavors.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
