Delicious Tofu Stir-fry Recipe for a Quick Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 block firm tofu (pressed and cubed)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for flavor)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 bell pepper sliced (any color)
  • 1 carrot sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch ginger (minced or grated)
  • 1 tablespoon green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Tofu

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

    The drier the tofu, the better it will crisp up.
  2. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the 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 fry until golden brown on all sides.

    Avoid stirring too much to allow crisping.
  4. Add Vegetables

    Stir in the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, garlic, and ginger.

    Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Season

    Pour the soy sauce over the stir-fry and mix well.

    Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  6. Serve

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

    Great with rice or noodles.
