Flavorful Pea and Tofu Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Tofu (14 ounces, firm, pressed and cubed)
• Green onions (3, sliced (for garnish))
• Cooked rice (4 cups, for serving)
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Vegetable broth (1/2 cup)
• Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
• Sesame oil (2 tablespoons)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, minced)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Fresh peas (2 cups, shelled (or frozen peas))

Instructions

1. Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
3. Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
5. Add the fresh peas to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender and bright green.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, and vegetable broth until smooth.
7. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the peas and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.
8. Return the cooked tofu to the skillet, tossing gently to coat with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve the pea and tofu stir fry over cooked rice, garnished with sliced green onions.
10. Enjoy a delicious and nutritious meal that's bursting with flavor!
