👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Heat the wok over high heat until very hot, then add the oil.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveWok
    💡A very hot wok and a few vegetables at a time: crowded vegetables release water and steam instead of charring, and lose their crunch.
  2. 2
    Sear the tofu 5–7 minutes, turning as little as possible, until golden on all sides, and transfer to a clean plate.
    Stove
  3. 3
    Add the carrot, cabbage and green beans and stir-fry 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
    Stove
  4. 4
    Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry 1 more minute, until fragrant.
    Stove
    💡The garlic and ginger go in last: in the heat of the wok they burn within seconds.
  5. 5
    Return the tofu to the wok.
  6. 6
    Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and black pepper and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  7. 7
    Divide the rice among bowls and top with the stir-fry.
  8. 8
    Serve immediately, sprinkled with Toasted sesame.
