Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 inch, grated fresh ginger
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 sliced red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 julienned carrot
- 3 chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cut into wedges lime
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Place the tofu in a bowl and sprinkle it with cornstarch, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp on all sides. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the tofu to the skillet. Pour in the gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir to combine everything evenly.
Add the chopped scallions and a pinch of salt, stirring gently to mix.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and remove from heat.
Serve the stir-fried tofu hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating.
