Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Tofu:

  • 1 lb firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the Stir Fry:

  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup asparagus, cut into pieces and trimmed
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

For the Honey Sriracha Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare Tofu (15 minutes): Toss the tofu cubes in cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu until golden and crispy on all sides. Set aside on a paper towel to drain.
  2. Make Honey Sriracha Sauce (5 minutes): In a bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  3. Cook Vegetables (10 minutes): In the same skillet or a wok, heat sesame oil. Add the minced garlic, onion, red bell pepper, asparagus, and carrot. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Add the snap peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Combine Tofu and Vegetables (2 minutes): Add the crispy tofu to the skillet with the vegetables.
  5. Add Sauce (3 minutes): Pour the honey sriracha sauce over the tofu and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly and heat through.
  6. Garnish and Serve (2 minutes): Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve the stir fry hot, optionally with a side of steamed rice.

Notes

To achieve the best flavor and texture, ensure that the tofu is well-pressed and crispy. This provides a nice contrast to the soft vegetables.

The honey sriracha sauce should have a balance of sweetness and heat – adjust the sriracha according to your spice preference. Cook the vegetables just until they’re tender to retain their crunch and vibrant color.

This stir fry is not only a feast for the taste buds but also for the eyes, making it a delightful dish for any occasion.
