Method 4 steps
On a cutting board, cut tofu into cubes. Toss cubed tofu with ginger, curry and pepper in a bowl.
In a non-stick skillet, heat oil and brown tofu. Remove to plate. Spray skillet with cooking spray and return to medium heat. Cook onion and garlic for 2 minutes to start softening. Add vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together broth, hoisin and cornstarch. Pour into skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes. Add tofu back to skillet and stir to coat well.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving, if using. Enjoy this over cooked brown rice noodles.
