Ingredients

• Tofu – 400g firm, pressed and cubed
• Fresh ginger – 2 tbsp, minced
• Garlic cloves – 3, finely chopped
• Green onions – 4, sliced thin
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) – 3 tbsp
• Sesame oil – 2 tsp
• Rice vinegar – 1 tbsp
• Maple syrup – 1 tbsp
• Broccoli florets – 2 cups
• Carrot – 1 large, julienned
• Red bell pepper – 1 medium, sliced
• Cooked jasmine rice – 3 cups
• Chili flakes – ½ tsp (optional)
• Fresh cilantro – handful, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

• Large non-stick skillet or wok
• Cutting board and sharp knife
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Mixing bowl
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• Rice cooker or pot for cooking rice

Instructions

1. Prepare the tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and chili flakes if using. Set aside.
3. Sauté aromatics: Heat a tablespoon of sesame oil in the wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Cook tofu: Add the cubed tofu to the wok and cook until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.
5. Stir-fry vegetables: Add a little more oil if needed. Toss in broccoli, carrot, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Combine tofu and sauce: Return tofu to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and toss gently to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
7. Finish and serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice.

Tips & Variations

“Tofu is a fantastic blank canvas, so feel free to swap it out for tempeh or seitan if you prefer a different texture.”

For a nuttier flavor, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top before serving. If you like your dishes a bit spicy, add fresh sliced chili peppers or increase the chili flakes.

Swap out the vegetables depending on what’s in season or what you have on hand—snap peas, baby corn, or mushrooms work beautifully.

For an extra protein boost, add cooked edamame or roasted peanuts. For a gluten-free version, ensure you use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
