Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tofu

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the tofu cubes and toss gently to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add peanut oil. Once hot, add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook until they are golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the sliced squash and shiitake mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred. Add the Chinese broccoli and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the crispy tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss gently to combine. Serve hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds.
