Ingredients
3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
1½ tbsp Honey
1 tbsp White wine vinegar
300 g Extra-firm tofu, cut into chunks
2 tbsp Sunflower oil
2 Garlic cloves, sliced
2 cm Fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into thin pieces
2 Carrots, sliced into thin batons
300 g Broccoli florets
1 Red bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 tsp Cornflour
1 Spring onion, sliced
2 tsp Sesame seeds
small bunch Fresh coriander, chopped
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and white wine vinegar until well combined. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Pat the tofu chunks dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat half of the sunflower oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Once hot, carefully add the tofu and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are golden brown on multiple sides.
Add the sliced garlic and ginger to the tofu and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly to avoid burning the aromatics. Transfer the tofu mixture to a clean bowl and pour half of the prepared soy sauce over it. Set aside.
Pour the remaining sunflower oil into the wok and return it to high heat. Add the carrot batons, broccoli florets, and red pepper strips. Stir-fry for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to take on a light golden color.
Add about ¼ cup of water to the wok and continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Stir this slurry into the remaining soy sauce. Pour the sauce mixture into the wok with the vegetables and add the reserved tofu. Allow the sauce to bubble gently for about 30 seconds while stirring constantly to coat everything evenly.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced spring onion, sesame seeds, and chopped fresh coriander. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
