Ingredients
Instructions
-
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by placing it between two paper towels or clean kitchen towels and gently pressing down with a heavy object for about 15-20 minutes.
-
Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar to make the stir fry sauce.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped scallions, and stir fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Add the tofu cubes to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is lightly browned on all sides.
-
Pour the sauce over the tofu and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
-
Drizzle the sesame oil over the tofu and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine.
-
Remove the pan from heat once the tofu is cooked through and coated with sauce.
-
Serve the stir fried tofu hot over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with additional chopped scallions if desired.
