- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to drain excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and sauté for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 5
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and cut the zucchini into half-moon slices.
Step 7
Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet with the garlic. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 8
Return the tofu to the skillet. Add soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients well.
Step 9
Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until tofu and vegetables are well coated and heated through.
Step 10
Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
