Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  2. 1 tbsp cornstarch (for crispy tofu, optional)
  3. 2 tbsp oil (sesame or vegetable)
  4. 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  5. 1 cup broccoli florets
  6. ½ cup carrots, julienned
  7. ½ cup snap peas or zucchini, sliced
  8. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  9. 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  10. 1 tsp ginger, grated
  11. 1 tbsp hoisin sauce or teriyaki sauce (optional)
  12. 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  13. 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu:

    • Press excess moisture out of the tofu using a tofu press or by wrapping it in paper towels and weighting it down. Cube the tofu and toss with cornstarch for extra crispiness.

  2. Cook the Tofu:

    • Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.

  3. Sauté the Vegetables:

    • In the same pan, add another tbsp of oil. Stir-fry the bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas (or zucchini) for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

  4. Add Flavor:

    • Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Add soy sauce and hoisin sauce (if using), then toss in the cooked tofu. Mix well to combine flavors.

  5. Garnish and Serve:

    • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve over rice or noodles if desired.

  6. Enjoy:

    • Pair with steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For added protein, include edamame or chickpeas in the stir-fry.
  • Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • Experiment with other vegetables like mushrooms, bok choy, or snow peas.
  • Make it spicier by adding red pepper flakes or sriracha.
