Instructions
Step 1
Press the tofu: Wrap the tofu block in paper towels, place a heavy plate on top, and let drain for 10 minutes to remove excess water. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Step 3
Prepare vegetables: Cut broccoli into florets, slice the bell pepper thinly, julienne the carrots, and chop the green onions, keeping white and green parts separate.
Step 4
Cook tofu: Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or add 1 tsp neutral oil. Add tofu cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Stir-fry vegetables: In the same skillet, add broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, and white parts of green onions. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Combine: Return tofu to the skillet with vegetables. Pour the sauce over everything and toss to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Serve: Garnish with remaining green onions and sesame seeds if using. Serve immediately.
