Vegetable Stir-Fry with Tofu

Instructions

1. 1

   Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 15-20 minutes. Then cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the tofu cubes with soy sauce and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu and stir-fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add the vegetable oil and increase the heat to high. Once the oil is hot, add the broccoli florets, red and yellow bell peppers, and zucchini. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

5. 5

   Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the vegetables and stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.

6. 6

   Return the tofu to the skillet with the vegetables and toss everything together. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat the tofu and blend the flavors.

7. 7

   Serve the vegetable stir-fry with tofu hot, optionally over rice or noodles if desired.
