  2. Whisk together all of the stir-fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
    3 tablespoon room temp water, 3 tablespoon low sodium gluten free soy sauce, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 teaspoon white rice vinegar
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 1–2 minutes, then add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook for another 2–3 minutes.
    2-3 tablespoon olive oil, ½ of a medium brown onion, 2 medium to large garlic cloves, ½ of a bell pepper, 8 oz Shimeji mushrooms
  4. Add the broccoli, snow peas, and bell pepper. Season lightly with salt and black pepper and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender.

Notes

  • Extra-firm tofu gives the crispiest texture. Firm tofu works too, but avoid soft or silken tofu.
  • Press the tofu before cooking for the best texture and crispier edges.
  • Use any vegetables you have – Carrots, snap peas, baby corn, cabbage, zucchini, asparagus, and mushrooms all work well.
  • Double the sauce if serving with noodles so everything stays well coated.
  • Finish with sesame oil – A small drizzle just before serving adds the best flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The tofu softens slightly, but the flavors are even better the next day.
  • Make it spicy by adding sriracha, chili garlic sauce, or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
