Ingredients

Scale

14 oz firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp vegetable oil for sautéing

Instructions

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots; sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender but crisp.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger; stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Push veggies aside, add more oil if needed, and sear the tofu until golden brown on all sides (about 3-4 minutes).
Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing everything together gently for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions.
