Umami Mushroom and Tofu Stir-Fry
A quick, healthy, and flavorful plant-based mushroom and tofu stir-fry with crispy tofu and a savory garlic-ginger sauce.
📝 Ingredients
👩🍳 Instructions
-
1Press tofu for at least 20-30 minutes. Cut into ¾-inch cubes.
-
2Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy on one side. Flip and cook until crispy on all sides. Remove tofu and set aside.
-
3Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened.
-
4Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
5Stir in broccoli florets and red bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
-
6In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vegetable broth, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, cornstarch, maple syrup (if using), and sriracha (if using) until smooth.
-
7Return crispy tofu to the pan with the vegetables. Give the sauce a quick re-whisk, then pour it over the tofu and vegetables. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes as the sauce thickens and coats everything.
-
8Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately over rice or noodles.
💡 Notes
For extra crispy tofu, toss cubed tofu with 1-2 tsp cornstarch before frying. Feel free to customize with your favorite quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas, carrots, or bok choy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
