• •1 tsp cornstarch
• •1/4 cup water
• •Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1

2. 2

   In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the tofu cubes and stir-fry until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

6. 6

   In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Pour this mixture over the vegetables in the skillet and stir well.

7. 7

   Return the tofu to the skillet and toss everything to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. 8

   Serve the stir-fried tofu and vegetables over cooked rice or noodles if desired.
