This Tofu Stir-Fry recipe is a quick and flavorful dish, perfect for a weeknight meal. It features pan-fried tofu and a colorful mix of vegetables tossed in a savory sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (14 ounces) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 cup snap peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch for the sauce.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add tofu cubes and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Add snap peas, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Return the cooked tofu to the skillet.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats everything, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Pressing the tofu is important to remove excess water, which helps it crisp up when pan-fried.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your preference.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables like mushrooms, bok choy, or onions.
  • For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
