Ingredients

• 1.5 pound extra-firm tofu
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 3 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 0.5 cup vegetable broth
• 0.25 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 6 cup frozen stir-fry vegetable blend
• 1.5 cup brown rice

Instructions

1. Press excess water from tofu, then cut into 1-inch cubes. In a large bowl, toss tofu with cornstarch until evenly coated. Cook brown rice according to package directions.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add tofu in a single layer and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-6 minutes per side. Remove tofu and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together toasted sesame oil, garlic, fresh ginger, vegetable broth, reduced-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and red pepper flakes. This is your stir-fry sauce.
4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add the frozen stir-fry vegetable blend and cook, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Return the cooked tofu to the skillet. Pour the stir-fry sauce over the tofu and vegetables, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats everything, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve immediately over the cooked brown rice.
