Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 3 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss the cubed tofu with cornstarch until lightly coated.
  3. Spread the tofu on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
  4. While the tofu bakes, prepare the sauce by whisking together the tamari, maple syrup, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the broccoli and carrots. Stir fry for 4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  7. Add the bell pepper and snow peas. Stir fry for another 2 minutes.
  8. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the baked tofu to the skillet with the vegetables.
  9. Pour the tamari sauce over everything. Toss gently to coat well. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  10. Remove from heat. Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pressing the tofu thoroughly removes excess water, which helps it get much crispier when baked.
  • Feel free to swap the vegetables based on what is fresh at your market this week.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
