Quick Summary

A quick, protein-packed dinner featuring crisp-tender vegetables and golden, pan-seared tofu tossed in a savory ginger-soy sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights when you want a nutritious meal without the fuss.

Ingredients

14oz extra firm tofu, pressed
2 cups broccoli florets
1 large bell pepper, sliced
2 medium carrots, julienned
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
2 green onions, sliced
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp cornstarch (optional)

Method

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into uniform 1-inch cubes.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu, browning on all sides until golden, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan, toss in broccoli, peppers, and carrots. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
4. Whisk soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, and cornstarch. Add tofu back to the pan, pour the sauce over, and toss for 2 minutes until glossy and thickened.

Stewart's Secret

For the best texture, always ensure your vegetables are cut to similar sizes. This ensures they finish cooking at the same time, keeping that vital crunch intact.
