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

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.

- 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.
