Instructions
- The Sauce: whisk together the stir fry sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Press tofu between paper towels to release excess water. Continue until most of the water is released. Cut the pressed tofu into 1/2 to 1 inch cubes, depending on your preferences. Toss with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until coated.
- In a wok or large saute pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add tofu in an even layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the first side is golden brown, stir and continue cooking until all sides are golden brown and crisp. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add the broccoli and carrots to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the bell pepper and garlic (if using extra). Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the stir-fry sauce. Add the tofu back to the pan and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and the veggies are tender.
- Serve with rice or noodles if preferred, and garnish with green onions, cilantro, or lime.

Notes
- Storage: place leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
*Sauce: the sauce makes approximately 1 1/4 cups; if you prefer a less saucy stir fry, add about 1 cup of the sauce and continue adding more until the desired amount is reached.
To make the sauce even thicker, add an additional 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch. Use stock with no added salt. See the stir fry sauce post for additional recipe tips.
