• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar(optional)

   Add minced garlic and stir‑fry for 30 seconds, then add sliced bell peppers and continue cooking for another 2 minutes until just tender.

4. 4

   Stir in soy sauce, sugar (if using), and white pepper; toss to coat the tofu and vegetables.
