Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz firm tofu, cubed
- 4 cups green cabbage, chopped
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1-inch fresh ginger, grated
Instructions
- Press the tofu to remove moisture by wrapping it in paper towels and placing a weight on top for 15 minutes.
- Chop the cabbage, bell peppers, carrots, and garlic into even pieces.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides (5-7 minutes). Remove from pan.
- In the same skillet, add cabbage first and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until tender yet crunchy. Add garlic and ginger toward the end to avoid burning.
- Return tofu to the skillet along with soy sauce and sesame oil; toss everything together for about 2 minutes until well coated.
- Serve hot, garnishing with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
