Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cups mixed veggies (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions
- Coat Tofu:
Begin by coating the cubed tofu in cornstarch. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture when frying. - Fry Tofu:
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu cubes. Fry them until they become golden and crispy, then remove them from the pan and set aside. - Stir-Fry Vegetables:
In the same pan, add the mixed veggies. Stir-fry them for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. - Add Garlic:
Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant. - Season:
Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, ensuring the vegetables are well-coated with this delicious mixture. - Combine Ingredients:
Return the crispy tofu to the pan, mixing well with the vegetables. Allow the tofu to heat through for a couple of minutes. - Serve:
Serve the crispy tofu stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal.
