Instructions

Cook Tofu

Step 1

Heat oil in a wok, then add tofu and let cook until golden on all sides, turning occasionally, about 7 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from wok to set aside.

Make Sauce

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water until thickened. Mix in the remainder of the sauce ingredients until smooth and combined. Sauce will appropriately thicken once added to the wok.

Cook Stir Fry

Step 3

Heat oil in the wok, add in garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in green beans, celery, broccoli, capsicum and white parts of the spring onions. Cook until all the veggies are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Return tofu to the wok, also adding in the sauce mixture, stirring thoroughly so that everything is coated in the sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Divide into bowls and serve garnished with the green parts of the spring onions.
