Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into 2 cm cubes.

Step 3

Remove the seeds from the chili pepper and finely chop it. Peel and mince the garlic.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine sesame oil, sriracha, soy sauce, ketchup, rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.

Step 5

Add the chili pepper, garlic, brown sugar, and ground black pepper, and mix well.

Step 6

Add the tofu to the mixture, cover, and let it marinate for at least 1 hour (preferably for 3 hours).

Step 7

Remove the seeds from both types of sweet peppers and cut them into 1 cm cubes. Dice the onion into the same cubes.

Step 8

Pour vegetable oil into a large non-stick skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Remove the tofu from the marinade and fry it on all sides in the skillet.

Step 9

Once the tofu is sautéed, add the onion to the pan and cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring until the onion turns golden.

Step 10

Pour the remaining marinade from the tofu into the skillet, bring to a boil, and add the bell pepper and snap peas. Cook for another 4–5 minutes. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little water.

Step 11

Serve the tofu with rice, sprinkling it with toasted sesame seeds and garnishing with green onions.
