Ingredients
- 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. Toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Cook the Tofu: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until all sides are golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add broccoli, bell pepper, snap peas, and green onions. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
- Combine: Add the crispy tofu back to the skillet with the vegetables and pour the teriyaki sauce over the top. Toss everything together to coat evenly and heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
