Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 30 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 block (14 ounces) firm tofu, drained and cubed
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
• Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the cubed tofu with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the tofu evenly.
2. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and sauté until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and honey.
6. Return the tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Helpful Tips

• If you’re new to tofu, be sure to press it before cooking to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve that perfect crispy texture.
• Feel free to add or substitute any of your favorite vegetables, such as carrots, zucchini, or baby corn.
• For a gluten-free version, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave.

Pairings
