The taste of plain tofu is not a taste that makes us jump with joy, but when given a little love in this vegetable stir-fry recipe, it becomes very interesting.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and 3 tablespoons of the water. Set aside.
In a wok, heat half of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Reserve on a plate.
In the wok, add the rest of the vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, and hot pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Add snow peas and asparagus. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add remaining water, cover, and simmer for about 3 minutes.
