Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed vegetables bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots
- 1 cup tofu cubed
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil for sautéing
- 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
- 1 clove garlic minced

Instructions
- Start by washing and chopping all your vegetables into bite-sized pieces. If using tofu, press it to remove excess water, then cut it into cubes.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat the pan evenly.
- Add the minced ginger and garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Add the cubed tofu and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently.
- Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Pour the soy sauce over your stir-fry and cook for another 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
- Remove from heat, garnish with your favorite toppings, and serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
You can swap in any vegetables or protein of your choice. Try chickpeas, tempeh, or seitan. Use tamari or coconut aminos as alternatives to soy sauce for different flavor or dietary needs.
