Veggie Stir-Fry with Tofu and Brown Rice Recipe
A vibrant vegan stir-fry featuring crispy tofu, colorful vegetables, and nutty brown rice tossed in a tangy soy-ginger sauce — quick and satisfying.
Ingredients
Method
- Press tofu for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. You want it firm, not floppy.
- Heat olive oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook until golden on all sides — crisp perfection!
- Remove tofu and set aside. In the same pan, add a touch more oil and toss in garlic and ginger.
- Add broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes until vibrant and slightly tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry until smooth.
- Pour the sauce into the veggies and toss well to coat everything in that glossy magic.
- Add tofu back to the pan and stir until everything’s evenly glazed and heated through.
- Serve the stir-fry over warm brown rice and sprinkle green onions on top.
- Optional: add chili flakes if you’re feeling fiery or keep it mellow and zen.
- Serve hot, snap a photo, and act like you meal-prep every week.
