Ingredients

• 400 g extra-firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.5 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 250 g broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Drain and press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, toss the tofu cubes with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup of soy sauce, 0.25 cup of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.

Step 5

Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 cup of water to create a slurry, and add it to the teriyaki sauce.

Step 6

Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot to the same pan and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the tofu to the pan along with the teriyaki sauce mixture. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce has thickened and the tofu and vegetables are well coated.

Step 8

Serve the tofu and vegetable mixture over a bed of cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 9

Enjoy your delicious Vegan Beef Teriyaki Bowl!
