Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu, drained and cubed
• 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped
• 2 cups red bell pepper, julienned
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and julienned

1. Whisk together vegetable stock, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; add tofu cubes and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes, then remove and set aside.
3. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan over high heat, add the broccoli, bell pepper, onion, carrots, garlic, and ginger, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until bright and tender-crisp.
4. Return the tofu to the pan, pour in the sauce mixture, and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
5. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
