Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup snow peas
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (or more, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove tofu from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Add the snow peas, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients: soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, maple syrup, sesame oil, and water.
  6. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce and vegetables.
  8. Serve hot, optionally over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, onions, or mushrooms.
  • Ensure your tofu is well-pressed to achieve the best crispy texture.
