Ingredients

  • 1 block firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Cooked rice or quinoa for serving
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into cubes and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Cook the Tofu: In a large pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Add mixed vegetables and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until just tender.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together almond butter, soy sauce, and maple syrup until smooth. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the pan and stir to combine.
  5. Combine: Add the crispy tofu back into the pan, tossing everything together until well coated in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve: Plate the stir-fry over cooked rice or quinoa, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
