  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil
– 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, broccoli)
– 1 cup sugar snap peas
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
– 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, for garnish
– 3 green onions, sliced for topping
– Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving


Instructions

Creating the Sesame Ginger Tofu and Veggie Stir Fry can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Tofu: Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. After pressing, cut it into even cubes.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Cook the Tofu: Add the cubed tofu to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until each side is golden brown. Remove the tofu and set it aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Toss in the mixed vegetables and sugar snap peas. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until crisp yet tender.
5. Add Aromatics: Incorporate the minced garlic and ginger into the skillet, stirring frequently for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and rice vinegar. Pour this sauce over the sautéed vegetables.
7. Combine Tofu and Sauce: Add the cooked tofu back to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the tofu and veggies evenly in the sauce.
8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and top with sliced green onions. Serve immediately over cooked rice or quinoa.

By following these steps, you’ll effortlessly craft an enticing meal that’s suitable for any occasion.
