- 1 block 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 carrots julienned
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1- inch piece ginger grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ cup vegetable broth
Press your tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. I usually sandwich it between paper towels and place a heavy cookbook on top.
Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add remaining oil and stir-fry garlic and ginger until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add harder vegetables first (carrots and broccoli) and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Add bell peppers and snap peas, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
Return tofu to the pan, add sauce, and toss everything together until well-coated and heated through.
