Delicious Tofu Veggie Stir Fry Recipe for a Healthy Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 block firm tofu (pressed and cubed)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 bell pepper sliced (any color)
  • 1 carrot sliced (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (grated or minced)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for cornstarch mixture)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Tofu

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

    Using firm tofu helps it hold its shape during cooking.
  2. Stir-fry Vegetables

    In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds before adding broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas.

    Cook vegetables until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add Tofu

    Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce and rice vinegar. Stir gently to combine.

    Be careful not to break the tofu while stirring.
  4. Thicken Sauce

    If using, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens.

    This helps bind the sauce to the tofu and veggies.
  5. Serve

    Serve hot over cooked rice and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

    Adjust seasoning with extra soy sauce or sugar to taste.
