Preparation

  2. Heat sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add tofu cubes in a single layer, cooking 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Transfer cooked tofu to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  5. Reduce heat to medium, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, snap peas, and purple cabbage to the pan. Stir-fry 4-5 minutes.
  7. Pour in soy sauce and rice vinegar. Stir for 1-2 minutes until sauce reduces slightly.
  8. Gently return tofu cubes to skillet, toss for 1 minute to reheat and blend flavors.
  9. Sprinkle green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and red chili flakes before serving.
