  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block of extra-firm tofu, pressed
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup edamame, shelled
  • Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving
  • Optional toppings: green onions, avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water and cut it into cubes.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add cubed tofu, and cook until golden brown and crispy (8-10 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  3. Add bell peppers, broccoli, shredded carrots, and edamame to the skillet, stir-frying until tender-crisp (5-7 minutes).
  4. Assemble the bowl by dividing the cooked rice or quinoa, topping with stir-fried vegetables and crispy tofu, then drizzling with sesame lime dressing and garnishing with sesame seeds, green onions, and avocado slices.

Notes

  • Marinate tofu in dressing for 30 minutes for extra flavor.
  • Feel free to add snap peas, zucchini, or mushrooms.
  • For spiciness, add red pepper flakes to the dressing.
  • Try different grains like brown rice, farro, or noodles.
  • Top with a fried egg for extra protein.
