  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

  3. Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large pan; add the tofu and cook until golden and crispy.
  4. Add broccoli and bell pepper to the same pan; stir-fry until tender.
  5. Stir in garlic and ginger; sauté for another minute.
  6. Mix soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl; pour over the vegetables.
  7. Add the tofu back to the pan, tossing everything to coat in the sauce.
  8. Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture to thicken the sauce.

Notes

To maximize crispiness, press the tofu well before cooking. You can substitute veggies as per availability, and for a spicy kick, add chili flakes to the sauce.
