• Green onions (2, chopped)
• Vegetable broth (1/2 cup)
• Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
• Snow peas (1/2 cup)
• Bell pepper (1, sliced)
• Carrot (1, sliced)
• Broccoli (1 cup, florets)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, minced)
• Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
• Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)

1. Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into cubes.

4. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and vegetable broth until smooth.
7. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
8. Add the cooked tofu back to the skillet and toss to coat it with the sauce and vegetables.
9. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
10. Serve the ginger tofu stir fry hot with steamed rice or noodles.
