Spicy Tofu Stir Fry

Ingredients

Firm tofu

14 oz, cubed

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Ginger

1 tablespoon, grated

Soy sauce

3 tablespoons

Sriracha sauce

2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)

Carrots

1 cup, julienned

Broccoli florets

1 cup

Red onion

1 medium, sliced

Bell peppers

1 cup, sliced (any color)

Green onions

1/4 cup, chopped

Sesame seeds

2 tablespoons, toasted

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
2. Place the cubed tofu in a larger bowl and pour the sauce mixture over it. Gently toss to coat the tofu and allow it to marinate for 10 minutes.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the tofu.
4. Add the marinated tofu to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, red onion, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Return the crispy tofu to the skillet and gently toss it with the vegetables for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
7. Sprinkle the stir-fry with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
8. Serve hot over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
