Ingredients

• 14 oz extra-firm tofu
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1.5 cups broccoli florets
• 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 0.25 tsp sea salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu: Place the tofu block on a plate lined with a paper towel. Top with another paper towel and place a heavy pan on top to remove excess moisture. Leave it to press for about 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the tofu is pressing, prep the vegetables: Slice the red bell pepper, julienne the carrot, cut broccoli into bite-sized florets, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and slice the green onions.

Step 3

After pressing, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 4

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer, making sure they do not touch each other. Cook, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until they are bright and tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the tofu to the skillet, lower the heat to medium. Stir in the coconut aminos and sesame oil, tossing everything to coat evenly.

Step 8

Season with red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot.
