Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block firm tofu (pressed and cubed)
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or button)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)

Instructions

  3. Add sliced mushrooms to the pan; sauté until browned (3-4 minutes).

  5. Toss in sliced bell pepper, snap peas, broccoli florets, and red pepper flakes; stir-fry until veggies are tender-crisp (3-4 minutes).
  6. Serve hot garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
