Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in mixed vegetables and snow peas, cooking for another 5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and vegetable broth.

Pour the sauce over the vegetables and tofu, stirring to coat evenly.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
