Stir-fried Tofu with Mixed Vegetables and Steamed Jasmine Rice
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 block of firm tofu, drained and cubed
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas)
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1/4 cup of vegetable broth
- 2 cups of jasmine rice
- 4 cups of water
Instructions
- Prepare the jasmine rice by rinsing it under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, and vegetable broth. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil and stir-fry the mixed vegetables for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
- Return the tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
- Serve the stir-fried tofu and mixed vegetables over the steamed jasmine rice. Enjoy!
