Press tofu to remove excess moisture for 15-20 minutes.

Cut tofu into cubes and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli; stir-fry until tender, about 4-5 minutes.

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, and water to create the sauce.

Return tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over; stir to combine.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through and sauce thickens slightly.

Garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes before serving.
