Delicious Tofu And Vegetable Stir-fry Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 1 block firm tofu (pressed and cubed)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for flavor)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch ginger (grated)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening sauce)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (or water)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for tanginess)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.

    Use a heavy object to press the tofu for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.

    Make sure the oil is hot before adding the tofu.
  3. Cook the Tofu

    Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

    Avoid stirring too often to allow the tofu to brown.
  4. Add Vegetables

    Stir in the mixed vegetables, garlic, and ginger, cooking for another 3-5 minutes.

    Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor.
  5. Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, vegetable broth, cornstarch, and rice vinegar.

    Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved before adding.
  6. Combine Everything

    Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.

    Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.

    Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
