Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Tofu: Drain and press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
- 2. Whip Up the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.
- 3. Cook the Tofu: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of sesame oil. Once hot, add the cubed tofu in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip to crisp on all sides.
- 4. Add Veggies: Add broccoli and snap peas to the skillet with the tofu. Stir-fry for about 4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- 5. Pour on the Sauce: Pour your prepared sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Gently stir to coat evenly and allow it to simmer for another 2 minutes.
- 6. Serve It Up: Transfer to plates or bowls and drizzle with additional sesame oil if desired. Serve hot over rice or quinoa.
