Ingredients

14oz Extra-firm tofu, pressed
2 tbsp Avocado oil
1 cup Snap peas
1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
2 cups Broccoli florets
3 cloves Garlic, minced

1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
3 tbsp Tamari or soy sauce
1 tbsp Rice vinegar
1 tsp Sesame oil
1 tsp Toasted sesame seeds
2 Green onions, sliced

Preparation Method

01. Prepare the Tofu: Cut pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes. Toss gently with 1 tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt.
02. Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high. Place tofu cubes directly on the grates. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until distinct char marks appear.
03. Sauté: In a hot wok or skillet, heat remaining oil. Add broccoli, peppers, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
04. Combine: Add the grilled tofu, ginger, garlic, tamari, and rice vinegar to the pan. Toss for 2 minutes to coat everything in the glaze. Finish with sesame oil, seeds, and green onions.

Stewart's Secret: For the best texture, freeze your tofu block overnight and thaw it before pressing. This creates a porous, sponge-like structure that drinks up your ginger-soy sauce beautifully.
