Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu, drained and cubed
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

- Add the cooked tofu back into the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Remove from heat and drizzle with 1 tbsp of sesame oil. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and red pepper flakes if using.
