Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 14 oz package of firm tofu drained and cut into cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large head broccoli chopped
- 3 cups chopped purple cabbage
- 1/3 cup nut butter
- 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 teaspoon sriracha optional, add more if needed
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tsp grated ginger
For Topping:
- Green onion, sliced
- Sesame Seeds
- Chopped Peanuts
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu. Don’t stir, instead allow the tofu to cook on each side for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. (Turn each piece of tofu over individually to evenly brown all sides.) Scoop the tofu onto a plate and set aside for now.
- Add the vegetables to the same pan with the leftover oil from the tofu. Sauté for 2 minutes, then cover with lid and cook for another 8-10 minutes. The vegetables should be crisp, but tender. Add the tofu back to the pan and stir to combine.
- While the vegetables cook, prepare the sauce by whisking together all the ingredients.
- Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables, stirring gently to combine. Serve immediately garnished with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and peanuts.
