Ingredients:

  • 1 block (14 ounces) firm tofu, drained and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 small broccoli head, cut into florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

How to prepare it, step by step:

  1. Prepare the Tofu: In a bowl, combine the cubed tofu, soy sauce (or tamari), sesame oil, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the tofu evenly with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
  2. Stir-Fry the Tofu: Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Vegetables: Heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrot, broccoli florets, snap peas, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-6 minutes or until they are tender-crisp.
  4. Combine with Tofu: Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, return the cooked tofu to the skillet. Toss everything together until the tofu is heated and evenly coated with the vegetables.
  5. Season and Serve: Season the stir-fry with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the Vegetable Stir-Fry with Tofu, hot overcooked rice, or noodles.
