This simple Tofu Veggie Stir Fry turned out so good! I love finding new ways to incorporate more tofu in my life, which is basically a blank sponge that soaks up anything you season it with. The stir fry sauce has just three ingredients: soy sauce, broth, and a little honey. Combine that with garlic and ginger, and you can’t go wrong! If you want more tofu recipes, try these Spicy Sriracha Tofu Rice Bowls and Kung Pao Tofu.

Do you have to press tofu?

Yes, you should definitely press the tofu for a stir fry. You want to get out all the liquid so that the tofu will get nice and crispy. Also, make sure to use extra firm tofu for the crispiest results.

How To Press Tofu

Drain tofu then lay on a tea towel or paper towels. Place another towel on top and lightly press to remove most of the water from the tofu.

How to Make a Tofu Stir Fry

This healthy tofu stir fry has all the makings for a fast and easy vegetarian dinner. You can make the sauce and prep the vegetables and tofu ahead of time so that when it’s dinner time, you can quickly get a meal on the table.

  • Combine the soy sauce, vegetable broth, and honey to make the sauce.
  • Cut the tofu into half-inch cubes and then put them in a large bowl. Season with soy sauce and then coat in cornstarch
  • Cook the tofu for a few minutes without moving it in a nonstick skillet or wok and then repeat on the other sides.
  • Remove the tofu from the skillet and then cook your veggies until they are soft.
  • Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Put the tofu and sauce in the pan and cook for a couple of minutes.

Variations:

  • You can use any vegetables you like. I used broccolini and bell pepper, but broccoli, carrots, or snap peas would also work.
  • Rather use meat? Swap the tofu for shrimp or diced chicken.
  • Make the stir fry vegan by swapping the honey for maple or brown sugar.
  • Make a spicy tofu stir fry by adding sriracha to the sauce.
  • Serve the stir fry by itself or with rice or soba noodles, or if you want to keep it low-carb, use cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
