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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
