Gluten-Free Tofu Stir-Fry Recipe

Looking for a quick, easy, and delicious gluten-free dinner? This Tofu Stir-Fry recipe is your answer! Perfect for weeknights, it’s packed with protein, vegetables, and amazing flavor, all while being completely gluten-free.

Why This Recipe Works:

This recipe utilizes simple ingredients and a straightforward method, making it accessible for cooks of all skill levels. The tofu is pressed to remove excess water, ensuring a crispy texture when stir-fried. We use a gluten-free tamari sauce as the base for the flavorful sauce, ensuring the dish remains entirely gluten-free. You can easily customize the vegetables based on your preferences and what’s in season.

Ingredients:

• 1 block (14 ounces) extra-firm tofu, pressed
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup sliced carrots
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch ginger, grated
• 1/4 cup gluten-free tamari sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
• Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water. Cut into bite-sized cubes.
2. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add the tofu and stir-fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly tender.
5. Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together tamari sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and cornstarch.
7. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
8. Return the tofu to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
9. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
10. Serve immediately over rice or quinoa.

Tips and Variations:

• Tofu Prep: For extra crispy tofu, toss it with a little cornstarch before stir-frying.
• Vegetables: Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, or zucchini.
• Spice: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little heat.
• Sweetener: Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your preference.
