Ingredients

• 14 oz Extra-firm tofu
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 3 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Stevia or erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess water by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 10-15 minutes. Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

While the tofu is being pressed, prepare the vegetables. Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into thin strips, and cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and stevia or erythritol to make the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and slightly crispy. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, add a splash of extra olive oil if needed, and stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the broccoli, zucchini, and red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked tofu to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the stir-fry sauce over the mixture and toss to combine, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb stir-fried tofu with vegetables!
