Ingredients
  

14 oz (400g) firm tofu, drained and pressed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced

3 green onions, chopped (reserve some for garnish)

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, gently toss the tofu with soy sauce and sesame oil. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes. After marinating, sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu and toss gently until coated.

    Cook the Tofu: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer, allowing them to cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more vegetable oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and snap peas to the pan. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and slightly tender but still crispy.

        Combine and Flavor: Return the crispy tofu to the skillet with the stir-fried vegetables. Pour in the hoisin sauce and stir well to coat all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through, stirring occasionally.

          Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or quinoa.
