1

Prep the tofu

Start by draining your tofu and pressing out excess moisture. Place the tofu block between two paper towels or clean kitchen towels. Gently press down to remove the water. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes or your desired shape.

2

Marinate the tofu

In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, a splash of rice vinegar, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and toss gently to coat. Allow the tofu to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer if you have time.

3

Prepare the vegetables

Chop your favorite vegetables for the stir-fry. You can use a colorful mix of bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, and snap peas. Get creative and add any other veggies you love!

4

Get sizzling

Heat some oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu (reserve the marinade) and cook until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the tofu from the wok and set aside.

5

Stir-fry like a pro

In the same wok, add a bit more oil if needed and toss in your chopped vegetables. Stir-fry for a few minutes until they're crisp-tender, maintaining their vibrant colors. Pour in the reserved marinade and cook for another minute to infuse the flavors.

6

Bring it all together

Add the cooked tofu back into the wok with the vegetables. Give everything a good toss to combine and let the flavors meld for another minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

7

Serve and enjoy

Transfer your mouthwatering tofu stir-fry to a serving dish. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top for an extra pop of flavor. Dig in and savor the amazing taste!
