Stir Fry Tofu

 Ingredients:

• 1 block of firm tofu, drained and pressed
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow onion, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cut the pressed tofu into cubes and toss with cornstarch in a large bowl to coat.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the tofu to the pan and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and add the red bell pepper, onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using).
6. Add the tofu back to the pan with the vegetables, pour in the sauce, and stir until everything is well coated and the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
7. Serve over rice, noodles, or quinoa. Enjoy!
