This vegan dish, Easy Tofu Stirfry, is quick and tastes great. It's great for busy weeknights. In a savory-sweet sauce, colorful vegetables are tossed with crispy tofu. This meal is served over rice and is very filling.
Ingredients: 1 block extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed. 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari. 1 tablespoon maple syrup. 1 tablespoon sesame oil. 1 tablespoon cornstarch. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 bell pepper, sliced. 1 carrot, thinly sliced. 1 cup broccoli florets. 1 cup snap peas. Cooked rice, for serving. Optional toppings: sesame seeds, sliced green onions.
Instructions: Soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, and cornstarch should all be mixed together in a bowl using a whisk. Toss the cubed tofu in the bowl to coat it. Allow it to sit for ten to fifteen minutes. In a big pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Put in the minced garlic and cook for one minute. Put the marinated tofu in the pan, but don't use up all the marinade. Flip the tofu every so often for 5 to 7 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy. Take the tofu out of the pan and set it aside. Put the broccoli, carrot, snap peas, and bell pepper in the same pan. For 5 to 7 minutes, until tender-crisp, saut the vegetables. Add the vegetables to the marinade that you saved and mix them around to coat them. Put the cooked tofu back in the pan and mix everything together. Serve hot on top of rice that has been cooked. If you want, you can add sesame seeds and sliced green onions as a garnish.
