Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 inch, grated fresh ginger
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 sliced red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 julienned carrot
- 3 chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cut into wedges lime
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
Place the tofu in a bowl and sprinkle it with cornstarch, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp on all sides. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Step 6
Return the tofu to the skillet. Pour in the gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir to combine everything evenly.
Step 7
Add the chopped scallions and a pinch of salt, stirring gently to mix.
Step 8
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and remove from heat.
Step 9
Serve the stir-fried tofu hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating.
