Instructions
- Cook the brown rice according to the package instructions.
- In a bowl, combine the cubed tofu, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the tofu.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute.
- Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, snap peas, and carrot slices to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Pour the sauce over the stir-fried vegetables and toss to coat.
- Add the cooked tofu back to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Serve the tofu and vegetable stir-fry over a bed of cooked brown rice.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Service Suggestion
- Pair this stir-fry with a side of steamed edamame for an extra protein boost.
- Serve with a wedge of lime for a tangy citrus twist.
Notes
