Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the tofu is pressing, prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, grated ginger, minced garlic, cornstarch, and water until smooth.

  3. 3

    After 15 minutes, cut the pressed tofu into cubes. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.

  5. 5

    In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, sliced carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

  6. 6

    Return the cooked tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the tofu and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over cooked brown rice or quinoa.
