Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cube the firm tofu and place it in a medium bowl. Pour in soy sauce and sprinkle cornstarch, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Let the tofu marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Set aside the tofu.
  3. Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet, then toss in the sliced mushrooms and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  4. Add broccoli florets, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, or until the broccoli is vibrant green and tender-crisp.
  5. Return the cooked tofu back into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with sesame oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Spoon the Stir-Fry over a bed of cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with finely chopped green onions. Enjoy!
