Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

14 oz firm tofu, drained and pressed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 carrot, julienned
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 green onion, chopped for garnish
Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Cut the pressed tofu into cubes.
In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the tofu cubes and sauté until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.
While the vegetables cook, mix the minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, smoked paprika, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until combined.
Return the tofu to the pan and pour the honey-garlic sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the tofu and vegetables.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a gluten-free version: use tamari instead of soy sauce.

For the best texture, press the tofu for at least 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess moisture. If you prefer a spicier kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the glaze. This stir-fry is also versatile; feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat to maintain the tofu’s texture.
