Tofu Stir-Fry with Vegetables

1In a medium bowl, combine all the tofu marinade ingredients and mix well. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2In another bowl, whisk together all the stir-fry sauce ingredients until well combined. Set aside.

3Heat vegetable oil (2 tablespoons) in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic (2 cloves) and sliced onion (1 small). Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and onion (1 small) starts to soften.

4Add julienned carrots (2) and trimmed green beans (1 cup) to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

5Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add the marinated tofu and cook for 5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.

6Pour the stir-fry sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

7Add halved cherry tomatoes (1 cup) to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until heated through.

8Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

9Serve the tofu stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy!
