Ingredients:
- 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Cooked brown rice or quinoa, for serving
- Toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish
Steps:
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch to make the marinade.
- Add tofu cubes and toss gently to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add marinated tofu to the skillet, reserving the marinade. Cook tofu until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
- Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Return tofu to the skillet, along with the reserved marinade. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the tofu and vegetables evenly.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve hot over cooked brown rice or quinoa, and enjoy the savory goodness of our Soy-Glazed Tofu Stir-Fry Bowl.
