Ingredients:
- 1 block of firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas)
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cups of cooked brown rice
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
- Optional: Sriracha or chili flakes for added heat
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tofu:
- Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Place the tofu block between paper towels or clean kitchen towels, then place a heavy object on top (such as a cast-iron skillet or a stack of plates). Let it press for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once pressed, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the flavorful sauce. Set aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables and Tofu:
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, then add the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine Everything:
- Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, add the cooked tofu back to the skillet.
- Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables, tossing everything together until well coated and heated through.
- Serve:
- Divide the vegetable stir-fry and tofu mixture evenly among serving bowls.
- Serve over cooked brown rice, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
- For an extra kick of heat, drizzle with Sriracha or sprinkle with chili flakes, if desired.
