Ingredients:
- 1 block of firm tofu, cubed
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, snap peas, etc.)
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons of water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Begin by pressing the cubed tofu between two paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Then, toss the tofu in cornstarch until it is evenly coated.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu and cook until it is golden brown and crispy, flipping occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and mixed vegetables. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, stirring occasionally.
- Next, add the minced garlic and ginger and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and water. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir to combine.
- Add the cooked tofu back into the pan and stir to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until everything is heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot over rice or noodles.
