Method

1. Press the tofu with a heavy weight for 10 minutes to remove moisture, then cut it into 2cm cubes.
2. Wash the bell peppers, remove the seeds, and cut them into thin strips of equal size.
3. Finely mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the spring onion, keeping the white and green parts separate.
4. Heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat and sear the tofu for 5-6 minutes until golden on all sides.
5. Add the peppers and the white part of the spring onion to the pan, stir-frying for another 4-5 minutes until the peppers are tender-crisp.
6. Pour in the soy sauce and add the garlic and ginger, tossing everything quickly for 1 minute so the flavors meld without burning the garlic.
7. Remove from the heat, garnish with the green part of the spring onion, and serve immediately.

Tips

• For a deeper flavor, let the tofu marinate in the soy sauce and ginger for 10 minutes before cooking.
• Store in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a pan to keep the peppers from getting too soft.
