Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 block of firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
- 2 cups of mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas)
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and stir-fry the mixed vegetables until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Return the tofu to the skillet with the vegetables and pour the Sriracha teriyaki sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu and vegetables.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve over steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy!
