Sesame Ginger Tofu & Edamame Stir-Fry

Ingredients

• 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
• 1 cup shelled edamame (frozen, thawed)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper sliced
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 2 scallions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

1. Pat tofu dry, then cut into ¾-inch cubes; lightly toss with a pinch of cornstarch for crispiness, if desired.
2. Heat sesame oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook on all sides until golden and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add broccoli, bell pepper, ginger, and garlic. Stir-fry 3–4 minutes until just tender.
4. Whisk soy sauce, maple syrup, and rice vinegar in a small bowl, then pour over veggies. Add edamame and tofu back to the pan. Toss everything to coat.
5. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and scallions, then serve hot.
