- 14 oz extra-firm tofu
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas

How to make Sesame Ginger Tofu Stir Fry
- Press the tofu for at least 10 minutes, then cut it into 3/4-inch cubes. Pat dry and toss with cornstarch and a pinch of salt until lightly coated.
- Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Keep it near the stove; the stir-fry moves fast.
- Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu in a single layer and cook 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on several sides. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining oil, broccoli, bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until bright and crisp-tender; add a splash of water and cover for 1 minute if the broccoli needs help softening.
- Return tofu to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss for 1–2 minutes until glossy and lightly reduced. Serve over rice or noodles with sesame seeds and green onions.
