Instructions
- Start by heating the sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, introduce the minced ginger and garlic. Sauté for about a minute until it releases its fragrance.
- Toss in the mushrooms and broccoli, ensuring they’re generously coated with the aromatic ginger and garlic mix. Stir and let these veggies cook for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.
- Slide in the red bell pepper slices. They bring a pop of color and a sweet, crunchy texture to your Vegan Mushroom and Broccoli Stir Fry.
- Now, drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce over the veggies. This not only adds flavor but also aids in cooking the vegetables just right.
- Add the firm tofu cubes next. Gently mix them in so they absorb the surrounding flavors without breaking apart.
- Sprinkle the crushed red pepper for that slight kick. Remember, a pinch is enough, unless you’re up for some fiery bites!
- Finally, garnish with chopped green onions before taking the pan off the heat.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider marinating the tofu in the soy sauce and crushed red pepper mix for about 15 minutes before adding it to the stir fry.
- Always keep the veggies moving. It ensures even cooking and prevents them from sticking to the pan.
- Customize! Feel free to toss in any of your favorite veggies or even some cashews for an added crunch.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve your Vegan Mushroom and Broccoli Stir Fry atop a bed of steamed jasmine or brown rice.
- A side of chilled cucumber salad complements the warmth of the stir fry beautifully.
