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
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
- 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.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the tofu.
- 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.
- 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.
- Return the crispy tofu to the skillet and gently toss it with the vegetables for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Sprinkle the stir-fry with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
Tips
- For extra crunch, consider adding cashews or peanuts as a topping.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand or your personal preferences.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
