Instructions
- 1
Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for about 10 minutes.
- 2
While the tofu is pressing, prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
- 3
After pressing, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
- 4
Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides.
- 5
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- 6
Add the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- 7
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- 8
Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
- 9
Serve the teriyaki stir-fry over cooked brown rice or quinoa, and enjoy!
