Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry
  • 14 oz Firm tofu Drained and pressed
  • 4 cups Cabbage Green or Napa, chopped
  • 1 cup Carrots Sliced, can substitute with bell peppers
  • 1 tbsp Fresh ginger Grated
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce Or tamari for gluten-free

  • 1 cup Additional vegetables Broccoli or bok choy recommended

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by draining the firm tofu and pressing it gently to remove excess moisture.
  2. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size, and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cubed tofu with soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add sesame oil. Once hot, add the marinated tofu cubes in a single layer and stir-fry for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
  5. In the same pan, add more sesame oil, sliced carrots, and chopped cabbage. Sauté for around 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Return the crispy tofu to the pan, drizzle with additional soy sauce and sesame oil, and toss gently for 1-2 minutes until well combined.
  7. Remove from heat and serve over a bed of rice or quinoa.
