Sesame Ginger Tofu Stir-Fry

Ingredients

• 14 oz Extra-firm tofu
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tbsp Toasted sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Honey or Maple syrup
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Press the tofu for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.

2. 2

   Toss tofu cubes with half of the cornstarch until lightly coated.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sweetener, and remaining cornstarch to create the sauce.

4. 4

   Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Fry tofu until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.

5. 5

   In the same pan, add broccoli and bell peppers with a splash of water. Cover and steam for 3 minutes until tender-crisp.

6. 6

   Return tofu to the pan and pour the sauce over the mixture.

7. 7

   Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.

8. 8

   Garnish with sesame seeds and serve hot over rice or noodles.
