Ingredients
  • 200 g Firm Tofu
  • 200 g Frozen Mixed Vegetables
  • 1 tbsp Curry Powder
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger
  • to taste Optional: Red Pepper Flakes

Prepare the Tofu

Press the tofu to remove excess water. This helps it crisp up better in the stir-fry. You can do this by wrapping it in paper towels and placing a heavy object on top for a few minutes. Then, cube the tofu into bite-sized pieces.

Sauté Aromatics

Heat sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

Stir-Fry the Tofu

Add the cubed tofu to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until lightly golden brown. This step enhances the texture and flavor of the tofu.

Add Vegetables and Curry Powder

Add the frozen mixed vegetables and curry powder to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are heated through and the curry powder is well distributed.

Season and Serve

Stir in soy sauce and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately over rice or noodles, or enjoy as is.

FAQ

  • Can I use different vegetables?

    Absolutely! Feel free to substitute the frozen mixed vegetables with any vegetables you have on hand, such as broccoli, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
  • What kind of tofu should I use?

    Firm or extra-firm tofu works best for stir-frying as it holds its shape well. Silken tofu is not suitable for this recipe.
  • Can I make this ahead of time?

    While best served immediately, you can prepare the tofu and vegetables separately and combine them when ready to eat. The tofu may lose some of its crispness when reheated.
