Soy‑Glazed Tofu Stir‑Fry

Ingredients

• 200 g firm tofu
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup carrots, sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch(optional)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1‑inch cubes; toss with cornstarch if using.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat; add tofu and fry until golden and crispy, about 3‑4 minutes; remove and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same pan, add remaining oil and quickly stir‑fry broccoli and carrots for 2‑3 minutes until just tender.

4. 4

   Add garlic and the soy‑maple glaze (soy sauce mixed with maple syrup); return tofu to the pan, toss to coat, and cook an additional 1‑2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

5. 5

   Serve hot, optionally garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds.
