Ingredients
Scale
1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
Optional garnishes: chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, sliced green onions
Instructions
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with soy sauce and cornstarch until evenly coated.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed to reach your desired sauce consistency.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the coated tofu and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pour the peanut sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Toss to coat everything evenly.
Cook for 1-2 minutes more until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, and sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
For extra crispy tofu, bake or air fry the coated tofu cubes before adding them to the stir-fry.
Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand.
Adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the peanut sauce to your preference.
