Ingredients:
- 1 block of firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 carrot
- 1 cup of broccoli florets
- 1 cup of snap peas
- 1 cup of mushrooms
- 2 green onions
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for extra thickness)
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
- Sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into cubes.
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Add the tofu cubes, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté ginger and garlic until fragrant.
- Add bell pepper, carrot, broccoli, snap peas, and mushrooms. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Return the cooked tofu to the pan and toss with the vegetables.
- If you desire a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and add it to the stir-fry. Cook until the sauce thickens.
- Sprinkle green onions over it and toss to combine. Serve with cooked rice or noodles. You can also garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro if desired.
