In the same pan, add a bit more vegetable oil if needed. Sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add broccoli florets, bok choy and julienned carrots.

Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Create the Sauce: 

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

Pour the sauce over the stir-fried vegetables.

Combine Tofu and Vegetables: 

Return the cooked tofu to the pan, tossing everything together to coat evenly with the sauce.
