Tofu Stir-Fry + 23 Tofu Recipes
This tofu stir-fry is an easy, healthy weeknight dinner that's loaded with veggies and comes together in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil divided, or olive oil, 2 teaspoons
- 1 lb extra-firm tofu pressed
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 bell pepper roughly chopped, orange
- 1 red onion roughly chopped, medium
- 1 ounce bag broccoli about 5 cups, fresh florets
- white rice brown or cauliflower, of choice
- green onions for garnish
- sesame seeds for garnish
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- ¼ cup tamari or soy sauce, low-sodium
- ½ Tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons Chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated or minced, fresh
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot (check to make sure tofu sizzles when you add it to the pan), add tofu and cook, flipping frequently, for about 10 minutes. It's done when all sides of the tofu cubes are golden. Transfer to a bowl or plate.
- While tofu is cooking, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl.
- Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the same skillet. Add garlic and onion and cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add broccoli and red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes. Add sauce and tofu to the skillet as well and cook for about 5 minutes longer, or until broccoli is tender, but crisp and bright green in color. Serve tofu stir-fry over rice of choice with green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
Notes
- If you want to use store-bought teriyaki sauce instead of the homemade sauce, you'll need about 1/3 cup.
