Ingredients
  

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and pressed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil (or any cooking oil)

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 carrot, thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, minced

2 green onions, chopped

2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a medium bowl, toss the tofu with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sesame oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, carrot slices, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes or until vegetables are tender but still crisp.

        Combine and Season: Add the cooked tofu back to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Stir well to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes.

          Serve: Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice, garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
