Easy and tasty tofu stir fry with vegetables recipe that solves meal boredom and boosts your healthy eating habits

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or peanut oil for a nuttier flavor)
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use low sodium for less salt)
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

    • Instructions

  • Press the tofu by wrapping it in a clean tea towel and placing a heavy pan or book on top for 15-20 minutes to remove excess water.
  • Prepare the sauce by whisking together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Chop the bell pepper, carrot, broccoli, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add tofu cubes in a single layer; cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes then flip to brown all sides until golden.
  • Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside to keep it crispy.
  • Add a bit more oil to the skillet, then toss in garlic and ginger. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add broccoli and carrots first and stir fry for 3 minutes. Then add bell pepper and zucchini, stir frying for another 2-3 minutes until veggies are tender-crisp.
  • Return tofu to the pan and pour the sauce over. Stir to coat everything and cook 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the stir fry.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

    • Notes

    A quick, satisfying tofu stir fry packed with colorful vegetables and a garlicky, slightly sweet sauce. Perfect for a balanced vegetarian or vegan meal with a crispy golden tofu texture.
