Momen Tofu Recipe

Press the Tofu

Wrap the firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture for about 15-20 minutes.

Prepare the Vegetables

While the tofu is pressing, chop the green onions, slice the bell pepper, julienne the carrots, and prepare the broccoli florets and snow peas.

Cube and Marinate the Tofu

Once pressed, cube the tofu into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Add the cubed tofu to the marinade and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of sesame oil. Once hot, add the bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, and snow peas. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Add Tofu to Vegetables

Add the marinated tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and allow flavors to meld.

Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped cilantro over the tofu and vegetable stir-fry. Serve hot over rice or noodles, if desired.
