Ingredients
  

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and pressed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 cups broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup snap peas

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or quinoa for a healthier option)

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Start by cutting the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create a marinade. Add the cubed tofu to the marinade and let it soak for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even coating.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and snap peas, stir-frying for about 5-7 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Tofu: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, and heat on medium-high. Carefully add the marinated tofu cubes and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden and crispy on all sides.

        Combine: Once the tofu is crispy, add the sautéed vegetables back into the skillet with the tofu. Toss everything together to heat through, adding a bit more soy sauce or sriracha if desired.

          Assemble the Bowls: To serve, place a generous scoop of cooked jasmine rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with the spicy garlic tofu and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro if using.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the burst of spicy, savory flavors in each bite!
