Ingredients:

• 1 block firm tofu, pressed and cubed
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped (for garnish)
• Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Peanut Sauce:

• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2-3 tablespoons water, to thin

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the cubed tofu and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
2. In the meantime, prepare the peanut sauce by combining peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup or honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a bowl. Gradually add water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, julienned carrot, and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the veggies are tender-crisp.
5. Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and pour the peanut sauce over the tofu and veggies. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce.
6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through and everything is well combined.
7. Serve the Tofu Vegetable Stir-Fry hot over cooked rice or noodles.
8. Garnish with chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
9. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious tofu stir-fry!
