Packed with tons of colorful veggies and protein-laden tofu, this is a must-have recipe for vegetarian and vegan athletes. I imposed a weekly vegetarian dinner for my family years ago to help keep us healthy and fit. It has since become one of the favorite nights of the week.

TERIYAKI TOFU STIR-FRY

Makes: 4 servings

Serving size: 1 to 112 cups

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

 

INGREDIENTS

112 tbsp sesame oil, divided

1 block firm extra-protein tofu, patted dry with paper towels and cubed

3 cups broccoli florets

2 large zucchinis, quartered and cut into 12-inch (1.25cm) slices

14 scallion, diced

2 carrots, sliced

12 red bell pepper, sliced

5 to 6 bok choy stalks, ribs removed and leaves sliced into 1-inch (2.5cm) strips

2 cups bean sprouts

for the sauce

114 cups cold water, divided

14 cup soy sauce

5 tsp packed light brown sugar

1 tbsp honey

12 tsp ground ginger

1 garlic clove, minced

2 tbsp cornstarch

DIRECTIONS

1 In a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat, make the sauce by combining 1 cup of water, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ginger, and garlic. Cook until nearly heated through, about 1 minute.

2 In a bowl, combine the cornstarch and the remaining 14 cup of water and stir until dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and cook until thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often.

3 In a separate saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat, heat 12 tablespoon of sesame oil until shimmering. Add the tofu and cook until golden, about 10 minutes. (Cover and reduce the heat to low to dry out the tofu more.) Remove the tofu from the saucepan, transfer to a bowl, and drizzle half the teriyaki sauce over the tofu, tossing until coated. Set aside the tofu and the remaining sauce.

4 In a wok on the stovetop over medium-high heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil until shimmering. Add the broccoli, zucchinis, scallion, carrots, and bell pepper and cook until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the bok choy and bean sprouts and cook until slightly wilted, about 2 minutes more.

5 Add the tofu, drizzle the remaining sauce over the top, and toss to combine. Remove the stir-fry from the stovetop. Serve immediately with your favorite rice or noodle.
