Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup snap peas
• 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 1 lime wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, red bell pepper, snap peas, and shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth.

Step 6

Return the tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the tofu and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.

Step 7

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
