👨‍🍳 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 3–4 minutes, turning as little as possible, until golden on all sides, and transfer to a clean plate.
    Stove
  3. 3
    Add the oil to the wok.
  4. 4
    Add the carrot and stir-fry 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
    Stove
  5. 5
    Add the red pepper and zucchini and keep stir-frying 2–3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  6. 6
    Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry 30 seconds, until fragrant.
    Stove
    💡The garlic and ginger go in last: in the heat of the wok they burn within seconds.
  7. 7
    Return the tofu to the wok.
  8. 8
    Add the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  9. 9
    Serve immediately, sprinkled with Sesame.
