How to Make Vegan Vegetarian Pf Chang's Mongolian Beef Tofu

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Set aside.
  2. Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess water. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Add the bell peppers and onions to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld.
  7. Stir in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving. Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
