Ingredients

• 400 grams Firm tofu
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup Edamame (shelled)
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos (sugar-free soy sauce alternative)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Avocado oil (or any neutral oil)
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it using a tofu press or by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy weight on top for 15 minutes to remove excess water.

Step 2

Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the tofu cubes to the pan and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside. Remove the tofu from the pan and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, heat the sesame oil and add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30–40 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Stir in the edamame and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Return the tofu to the pan and pour the sauce over the stir fry. Toss everything together to ensure the tofu and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 10

Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Remove the stir fry from the heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and optional toasted sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 12

Serve hot on its own or alongside a bowl of steamed cauliflower rice, quinoa, or zoodles for a complete sugar-free meal.
