Ingredients
  

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and pressed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 carrot, julienned

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a medium bowl, gently toss the tofu cubes with soy sauce and let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

    Stir-fry the Vegetables: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

      Add the Veggies: Toss in the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, snap peas, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.

        Cook the Tofu: Add the marinated tofu to the skillet. Gently stir-fry for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors and get slightly crisp on the edges.

          Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa for a nutritious meal.
