Hey there, food lovers! Today, I'm thrilled to share one of my all-time favorite recipes: Veggie Stir-Fry with Tofu. This dish is a veggie-packed sensation that's bursting with flavor and goodness.
Ingredients
Sauce
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce, or gluten-free soy sauce

Stir Fry

- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions

- Once the tofu has drained, slice in half then into 1/2 inch cubes and place into a large bowl and season with 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
- Sprinkle cornstarch on top and gently toss with your hands to ensure all tofu pieces are covered.
- In a large nonstick skillet or wok, add 1 tablespoon oil and heat to medium-high.
- Add the tofu and let it get crispy without touching it or flipping for 3-4 minutes, then repeat on all sides.
- Remove tofu and set aside.

- Add the garlic and ginger and cook 30 to 60 seconds.
- Add the tofu and sauce, toss and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until sauce is slightly thickened and the tofu is heated through.
- Top with sesame seeds.
