Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz firm tofu, cubed
- 1 cup cashews
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)
Instructions
- Prep Tofu: Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. This step ensures that the tofu becomes crispier when fried. After pressing, cut the tofu into cubes.
- Cook Tofu: In a large pan over medium-high heat, add sesame oil. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu cubes. Fry them until they are golden brown, which should take about 7-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure all sides are evenly cooked.
- Add Veggies: Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, then add the mixed vegetables. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still retain some crunch.
- Flavor: Add soy sauce and cashews to the pan. Stir to combine all ingredients. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve: Serve the stir fry hot over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
