Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block 14 oz firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 bell pepper sliced (any color)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • Cooked rice or quinoa for serving

Method
 

  1. Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, and carrot. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  3. Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and cornstarch mixture. Pour this sauce over the vegetables in the skillet.
  5. Return the tofu to the skillet and toss everything together to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
  6. Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or quinoa and garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes

  • For added spice, include a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a splash of sriracha in the sauce.
  • Substitute the tofu with tempeh or chicken for a different protein option.
