TOFU STIR FRY

Steps:

• Cut the red bell pepper and the red onion into thin strips, the zucchini into half moons, and the carrots into slices. Cut off both ends of the green beans and cut them into halves. Finely chop the garlic and the ginger. Cut the broccoli into small florets.
• Cut the tofu into cubes. Add the soy sauce sauce, the sesame oil, and the paprika powder to the tofu cubes.
• Stir carefully so all of the tofu cubes are covered in the marinade.
• Add the corn starch to the tofu. It will help to make the tofu super crispy.
• Stir carefully so all of the tofu cubes are covered. Heat some oil in a large pan.

TOFU & SNOW PEA STIR-FRY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and hot sauce in a medium bowl; whisk until smooth. Set aside.
• Drain tofu; pat dry with a paper towel. Cut into 3/4-inch cubes; pat dry again.
• Heat 2 tsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the tofu and let cook, undisturbed, until lightly browned underneath, about 2 minutes. Stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add 1 tsp. oil to the pan, then the remaining tofu; repeat.
• Add the remaining 1 tsp. oil to the pan. Add frozen vegetables, ginger, and garlic; stir-fry until the ginger and garlic are fragrant and the vegetables have thawed, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in snow peas. Add water, cover and cook until the peas are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Push the vegetables to the edges of the pan. Add the reserved peanut sauce to the center and cook, stirring, until hot, about 30 seconds. Stir the vegetables into the sauce. Add the reserved tofu and cook, stirring, until heated through, 30 to 60 seconds. If necessary, add more water to make a creamy sauce. Sprinkle each serving with 1 Tbsp. peanuts; serve with rice.
