Description
Mushroom and Tofu Stir-Fry is a vibrant, nutrient-packed dish that’s perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 8 ounces mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or button), sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup snap peas
- 1/2 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
1. Start by pressing the tofu to remove any excess moisture. Once pressed, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and sauté until golden brown on all sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and set it aside.
3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and mushrooms for 3-4 minutes. If using the optional add-ins, add the bell pepper, snap peas, and broccoli, and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.
4. Return the sautéed tofu to the pan, stirring to combine with the vegetables.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry. Pour the sauce into the pan and stir to coat everything evenly.
6. Allow the Mushroom and Tofu Stir-Fry to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the ingredients.
7. Sprinkle the stir-fry with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve the Mushroom and Tofu Stir-Fry hot, over a bed of steamed rice or noodles.
