Ingredients

• 400 grams firm tofu
• 60 ml gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 1 unit red bell pepper
• 200 grams broccoli florets
• 1 unit carrot
• 150 grams sugar snap peas
• 2 units green onions
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean towel and placing a heavy object on top for 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and gently toss with cornstarch, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Slice the red bell pepper, carrot, and chop the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Add these to the pan along with the sugar snap peas.

Step 6

Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Mix well.

Step 8

Return the tofu to the pan and pour the sauce over. Toss everything to combine and heat through.

Step 9

Slice the green onions and add them to the pan just before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately on its own or over steamed rice.
