Stir-Fried Tofu with Vegetables is a dish that incorporates the best of both worlds: healthy ingredients and delicious flavors. Originating from Asian cuisine, stir-frying in a wok pan ensures that the vegetables remain crisp and the tofu absorbs all the fantastic flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp of vegetable oil
  • 14 oz of firm tofu, cubed
  • 1 cup of bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup of broccoli florets
  • 1 cup of snap peas
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp of soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp of hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp of oyster sauce (optional)
  • 2 tsp of sesame oil
  • 1 tsp of freshly grated ginger
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp of sesame seeds (optional)

Substitutions and Variations:

  • You can substitute firm tofu with extra firm tofu for a meatier texture.
  • Swap out vegetables based on your preference or what’s in season, such as zucchini or mushrooms.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: Add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to the preheated wok and swirl it around to coat the bottom and sides.
  2. Cook the Tofu: Add the cubed tofu to the wok. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until all sides are golden brown. Remove the tofu from the wok and set aside.
  3. Stir-fry the Vegetables: Add a little more oil if needed. Toss in the garlic and ginger first and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  4. Combine Tofu and Sauces: Return the tofu to the wok. Pour in the mixed sauces. Stir well to coat all the ingredients. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is well mixed.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Turn off the heat and add 2 tsp of sesame oil. Stir well to combine. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Notes

Always keep the ingredients moving while stir-frying to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
