Instructions

Creating your own Sesame Ginger Tofu and Veggie Stir Fry can be straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Tofu: Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture for better frying. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.
3. Fry Tofu: Add the tofu to the skillet. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 7-10 minutes. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Veggies: In the same skillet, add a bit more sesame oil if needed. Sauté the garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, snap peas, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
6. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame seeds.
7. Combine: Return the fried tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
8. Add Green Onions: Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
9. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa.
