  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snow peas

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (or vegetarian oyster sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Optional: chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss tofu cubes with soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Cook lo mein noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove tofu from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add red bell pepper, broccoli florets, snow peas, and shredded carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together vegetable broth, oyster sauce, and sugar.
  7. Add the cooked noodles, cooked tofu, and the sauce mixture to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
  8. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce has thickened slightly and everything is heated through.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the tofu in soy sauce and sesame oil for at least 15 minutes before coating with cornstarch.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as mushrooms, bok choy, or bean sprouts.
  • Adjust the sauce ingredients to your taste. Add more soy sauce for saltiness or sugar for sweetness.
