Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Tofu
- Drain the tofu and cut it into 1 inch X 1 inch cubes and add corn starch.
- Mix well to coat the tofu with corn starch.
Step 2: Prepare the sauce
- Prepare a small bowl.
- Add the vegetable broth, soy sauce, DARK soy sauce, white vinegar, maple syrup, ground black pepper and corn starch.
- Mix it well and set it aside for later.
Step 3: Stir-Fry the Vegetables and tofu
- To a heated pan add the oil, tofu (coated with corn starch) and salt.
- Fry on medium-high heat for only 30 seconds.
- Using the same skillet, add additional sesame oil if required.
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes aromatic.
- Introduce broccoli florets, bell peppers, carrot matchsticks, and sliced mushrooms into the skillet, and stir-fry the combination for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables reach a tender-crisp texture.
Step 4: Make the Sauce and Combine
- Add the sauce.
- Make sure to stir the sauce well before adding it that’s because the corn starch has a tendency to collect at the bottom of the bowl.
- Cook the sauce along with the vegetables on medium-high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens to desired consistency.
- Transfer Stir-Fry the Vegetables and tofu into a bowl and then just enjoy!!
