Sizzling Sesame Tofu Stir Fry with Vibrant Veggies

Ingredients

- 1 block firm tofu (14 oz)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 medium carrots, julienned
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 green onions, sliced diagonally
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Prep the Tofu:
- Remove the firm tofu from its packaging and gently press it between paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth to remove excess moisture.
- Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.

2. Marinate the Tofu:
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Add the tofu cubes to the mixture. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
- Let the tofu marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

3. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Julienne the carrots and slice the red bell pepper.
- Chop the broccoli into small, manageable florets.

4. Stir Fry the Tofu:
- In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated tofu cubes. Stir fry for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.

5. Stir Fry the Vegetables:
- In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil.
- Toss in the carrots, bell pepper, and broccoli. Stir fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

6. Combine and Serve:
- Return the tofu to the pan with the vegetables. Stir everything together until combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the stir fry with sliced green onions and sesame seeds just before serving.
