Ingredients:
- 14 oz. firm tofu, drained, and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- Salt and pepper
- For the Teriyaki Sauce:
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 2 tbsp sake
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
Instructions:
- In a small non-stick bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce. Set aside. Toss the tofu with the cornstarch in a separate bowl until evenly coated.
- In a large wok, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the tofu and stir-fry until golden and crispy, about 5 mins. The tofu is removed from the pan and set aside.
- Add the bell peppers, onion, carrots, and broccoli to the pan and stir-fry until tender, about 5 mins.
- In a bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce. Pour the sauce into the pan and stir to combine with the vegetables.
- Put the tofu back in the pan, stirring it around so the sauce covers it. Cook for 2-3 mins until the sauce thickens and the tofu is heated.
