Ingredients

• 1 block of firm tofu, drained and pressed
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup of broccoli florets
• 1 cup of snow peas
• 1 cup of carrots, julienned
• 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
• 1/4 cup of vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce
• 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Tofu

To start, prepare the tofu by draining it and pressing out any excess water. Cut the tofu into small cubes and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu and toss to coat.

Step 2: Cook the Tofu

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and cook until they are golden and crispy on all sides, about 10-12 minutes. Once the tofu is cooked, transfer it to a plate and set aside.

Step 3: Stir-Fry the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Add the garlic, onion, bell pepper, broccoli, snow peas, and carrots. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.

Step 4: Add the Tofu and Sauce

Once the vegetables are cooked, add the cooked tofu back to the skillet. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, vegetable broth, and hoisin sauce. Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.

Serving

Once the stir-fry is ready, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the vegan tofu stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles, and garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
