Description

Savor the delightful combination of crispy tofu, vibrant broccoli, and sweet snap peas in this quick and nutritious dish, perfect for any weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Drain the tofu and wrap it in paper towels. Place a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into cubes.
  2. Chop the Vegetables: While pressing the tofu, chop the broccoli into bite-sized pieces and trim the ends off the snap peas.
  3. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  4. Cook the Tofu: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cubed tofu in a single layer and cook for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown on all sides.
  5. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Remove tofu from the skillet and add broccoli and snap peas. Stir-fry for about five minutes until they are vibrant and tender-crisp.
  6. Combine Everything: Return tofu to the pan along with prepared sauce. Stir to combine and cook for an additional two minutes until heated through.
  7. Serve: Transfer to plates and drizzle with any remaining sauce for an extra flavor boost. Enjoy over rice or noodles if desired!
