For extra crunch and healthy fats, toss in a handful of roasted cashews or peanuts at the end.
Add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to the sauce for a creamy, satay-like flavor, or a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce for extra heat.

The most common reasons for soggy tofu are not pressing out enough water or coating it insufficiently with cornstarch. Ensure you press the tofu for at least 15 minutes and that each cube has a light, even coating of cornstarch before frying in hot oil.
Yes, you can use frozen vegetables. It's best to thaw them and pat them dry before adding to the hot skillet to avoid excess water, which can make the stir-fry soggy. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave. Note that the tofu will lose some of its original crispiness upon reheating.
