Instructions
- Cook the brown rice according to package instructions.

- Add the marinated tofu to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Return the tofu to the skillet and toss with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the Sesame Ginger Tofu Stir-Fry over a bed of cooked brown rice.
