Ingredients
  

  • - **Mushrooms:** 1 cup 240 ml
  • - **Broccoli florets:** 2 cups 480 ml
  • - **Sesame oil:** 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • - **Soy sauce low-sodium:** 3 tablespoons (45 ml)
  • - **Ginger minced:** 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
  • - **Garlic minced:** 2 cloves
  • - **Red bell pepper sliced:** 1 whole
  • - **Green onions chopped:** 3
  • - **Tofu firm, cubed:** 1/2 cup (120 ml)
  • - **Crushed red pepper:** 1 teaspoon 5 ml

Method
 

  1. Start by heating the sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, introduce the minced ginger and garlic. Sauté for about a minute until it releases its fragrance.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Now, drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce over the veggies. This not only adds flavor but also aids in cooking the vegetables just right.
  6. Add the firm tofu cubes next. Gently mix them in so they absorb the surrounding flavors without breaking apart.
  7. Sprinkle the crushed red pepper for that slight kick. Remember, a pinch is enough, unless you're up for some fiery bites!
  8. Finally, garnish with chopped green onions before taking the pan off the heat.

Notes

1. 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.
2. Always keep the veggies moving. It ensures even cooking and prevents them from sticking to the pan.
3. Customize! Feel free to toss in any of your favorite veggies or even some cashews for an added crunch.
