Quick Tofu and Pepper Stir-fry
A vibrant and healthy dish featuring crispy tofu and colourful bell peppers stir-fried in a savoury sauce. Perfect for a weeknight meal, this recipe delivers a delicious combination of flavours and textures in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 yellow or white onion sliced into half-moons
- 4 red, yellow, and orange bell peppers sliced into vertical strips
- 1 block (350 g) extra firm tofu cubed
- 1 tbsp grapeseed oil or other high smoke point oil
Sauce
- 1.5 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp vegan chicken-style seasoning
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tbsp Bragg's Soy Seasoning (or other gluten-free soy sauce)
- 3-4 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk all of the sauce ingredients together. Set aside.
- Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure it's hot before adding the oil (flick some water into the skillet, and if it evaporates on contact, it's ready).
- Add the oil, and once it's shimmering, add the cubed tofu. Fry until a light golden-brown colour. Transfer the tofu to a bowl and set aside.
- Add a little more oil if needed, and then toss in the onions. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
- Combine the bell peppers in the pan with the onions, and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, depending on how soft you want the vegetables. If you prefer them crisp, cook for less time.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, add the tofu back into the skillet. Mix in the sauce and stir until thickened (this should take less than a minute).
- Serve with rice or your favourite side!
