Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz extra-firm tofu
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp neutral oil (e.g., avocado oil, canola oil)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce (tamari or coconut aminos)
- 2 tbsp gluten-free hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 2 cups cooked rice or rice noodles (optional for serving)
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, carrot, and snap peas. Stir fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
While the vegetables are cooking, make the sauce by whisking together gluten-free soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water in a small bowl.
Return the crispy tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and blend the flavors.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot over cooked rice or rice noodles, if preferred. Enjoy your gluten-free tofu stir fry!
