Ingredients
  

  • 1 block 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 carrots julienned
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil like vegetable or coconut
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

Instructions
 

  • Press your tofu for at least 15 minutes by wrapping it in paper towels and placing something heavy on top. This removes excess moisture and helps it get crispy.
  • While the tofu is pressing, whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and season with a pinch of salt.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add remaining oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add carrots and broccoli first, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add bell peppers and snap peas, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  • Return tofu to the pan, pour in the sauce, and stir to coat everything evenly.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
  • Garnish with green onions and serve hot.
