Ingredients
- 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or vegetarian oyster sauce)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Steamed rice for serving
Instructions
- 1
Press tofu for 15 minutes between paper towels. Cut into 1-inch cubes and pat completely dry.
- 2
Toss tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated. This is the key to extra crispy tofu.
- 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until smoking. Add tofu in a single layer - do not stir for 2 minutes.
- 4
Flip tofu and cook until golden on all sides, about 3-4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
- 5
In the same wok, add broccoli and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
- 6
Add snap peas, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 7
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour into the wok.
- 8
Return tofu to the wok. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the tofu and vegetables.
- 9
Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
- 10
Serve immediately over steamed rice.
Pro Tips
💡
Press tofu for at least 15 minutes before cooking - the drier it is, the crispier it gets.
💡
High heat is non-negotiable for stir-frying - the wok needs to be genuinely smoking before you add anything.
💡
Cornstarch coating is the secret to the crispiest tofu - do not skip the pat-dry step.
