Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu, crumbled
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, broccoli)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by crumbling the tofu into small pieces, chopping mixed vegetables into bite-sized chunks, and thinly slicing green onions.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Add crumbled tofu to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to create a scrambled egg-like texture and light golden color.
- Push tofu to one side of the pan and add mixed vegetables. Stir-fry vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender and retain their vibrant colors.
- Sprinkle garlic powder and grated ginger over the tofu and vegetables, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Pour soy sauce over the mixture, tossing to coat all ingredients thoroughly and create a savory flavor profile.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and vegetables to reach desired tenderness.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions for added freshness and color.
- Serve hot over cooked rice or noodles, ensuring an even distribution of tofu and vegetables.
Tips
- Press your tofu thoroughly before crumbling to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a crispier, more egg-like texture.
- Use a wok or large non-stick skillet for the best heat distribution and easier cooking.
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- Don't overcrowd the pan - this helps vegetables maintain their crisp texture and prevents steaming.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of sesame oil or rice vinegar at the end of cooking.
- Experiment with different vegetable combinations to keep the dish exciting and seasonal.
- For added protein, you can sprinkle some nutritional yeast over the stir fry for a cheesy, nutty flavor.
