Peanut Tofu Stir Fry

Coming together in less than 30 minutes, this recipe is one of our dietitians’ go-to dinners!

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. While the vegetables cook, prepare the sauce by whisking together all the ingredients.
  4. Pour the sauce over the tofu and vegetables, stirring gently to combine. Serve immediately garnished with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and peanuts.
