Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add cubed tofu in batches to avoid crowding; cook until golden brown on all sides (about 8 minutes). Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté sliced bell peppers and broccoli for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Sriracha, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
  6. Return the tofu to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over everything. Stir gently to coat all ingredients and heat through for an additional 2 minutes.
