Ingredients
- 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into cubes and marinate it in gluten-free soy sauce for about 10 minutes.
- Cook the Tofu: In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu and fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Toss in the garlic, ginger, and all the vegetables. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine: Return the tofu to the pan, and sprinkle cornstarch over the mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through, and the sauce slightly thickens.
- Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot, preferably over cooked rice or quinoa.
