Tofu and Marinade

Vegetables

Method

Preparing the Tofu

  1. 1

    Press the Tofu

    Wrap the firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tofu

    In a bowl, combine white wine, soy sauce, maple syrup, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes and marinate in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Tofu and Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté the Tofu

    In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu cubes and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and caramelized.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and sliced carrots to the skillet with the tofu. Stir-fry for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the vegetables are cooked, remove from heat. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
