Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by cubing your firm tofu into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Drizzle soy sauce over the tofu, then sprinkle cornstarch for a crispy finish. Gently toss to coat everything evenly and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the marinated tofu cubes, and cook for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and toss in the sliced mushrooms and bell peppers. Stir for about 3-4 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
  4. Add the broccoli florets, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli turns bright green while remaining tender-crisp.
  5. Return the crispy tofu to the skillet, drizzle with sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve the stir-fry hot over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with chopped green onions.
