Make Veggie Stir Fry

Healthy and easy veggie stir fry! This recipe has a nice twist of using hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Tastes just like the chinese place around the corner...without all the MSG!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Olive Oil (2 tbsp)
  • Sesame Oil (2 tbsp)
  • Extra-Firm Tofu (1 package cubed)
  • Red Bell Pepper (1/2 pepper sliced)
  • Yellow Bell Pepper (1/2 pepper sliced)
  • Baby Carrots (1 cup)
  • Broccoli (1 cup bite sized)
  • Hoisin Sauce (3 tbsp)
  • Sesame Oil (1 tbsp)
  • Soy Sauce (2 tbsp)
  • Mirin (1 tbsp)
  • Sugar (2 tbsp)
  • Veggie Broth (3/4 cup)
  • Corn Starch (1 tbsp)
  • Warm Water (2 tbsp)((to dissolve corn starch in before mixing with rest of sauce))
  • {OPTIONAL}Brown Rice (1 cup dry)
  1. Step 1

    Press and drain your tofu and cut into bite sized cubes. (Or you can use the already cubed tofu)

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil and 2 tbsp sesame oil over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and fry your tofu until the cubes become a crispy golden color. This may take a while so be patient, I find that using a wok makes this process easier.

  3. Step 3

    Add the bite sized veggies to your tofu and 'stir fry' for about 5 minutes or until crisp and tender. (You may add more oil as needed)

  4. Step 4

    For the sauce, mix together the hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, veggie broth and dissolved corn starch in a medium bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Add the sauce to the veggies and tofu and stir over medium heat until it thickens slightly. Serve alone or over rice!
