Description
A delicious and healthy stir-fry featuring savory mushrooms and tofu, perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup firm tofu, cubed
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as button or cremini)
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss the cubed tofu with soy sauce and cornstarch until evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and bell pepper, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the broccoli, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and drizzle with sesame oil. Toss everything together and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Serve the stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with chopped green onions.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat.
- You can substitute the tofu with tempeh or chicken for a different protein option, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
