Description

This vibrant dish features crispy tofu, fresh broccoli, and sweet snap peas tossed in a savory sesame-ginger sauce for a quick, nutritious meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes.
  2. Chop the Veggies: While pressing, chop broccoli into bite-sized florets and trim snap peas.
  3. Make the Sauce: Whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a bowl.
  4. Cook the Tofu: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a little oil. Add tofu cubes and sauté until golden brown on all sides (about 5 minutes).
  5. Add Vegetables: Stir in chopped broccoli and snap peas. Cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Combine: Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Toss to coat evenly and let simmer for an additional minute.
  7. Serve: Transfer to plates and drizzle with extra sesame oil if desired. Enjoy alone or over rice or noodles.
