• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

• 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and cubed
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sriracha
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 green onions, chopped
• Sesame seeds, for garnish

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Add the cubed tofu, tossing gently to coat. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
3. Sprinkle cornstarch over the marinated tofu, tossing to coat evenly. This helps attain a crispy texture.
4. Arrange the tofu on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through until golden and crisp.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant.
6. Add the bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas, stir-frying for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce and rice vinegar. Pour over the vegetables, mixing well.
8. Add the crispy tofu to the skillet, gently tossing to combine everything evenly.
9. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

• For extra flavor, marinate the tofu overnight.
• Use any vegetables you have on hand like carrots, zucchini, or mushrooms.
• If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of sriracha or omit it altogether.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain the crispiness of the tofu.

• Replace soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
• Substitute hoisin sauce with teriyaki sauce for a different flavor profile.

• Serve this stir-fry over steamed jasmine rice or quinoa.
• Complement the meal with a refreshing cucumber salad or a light miso soup.
• Enjoy with a glass of iced green tea or sparkling water with a splash of lime.
