Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup firm tofu, cubed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (plus extra for drizzling)

  3. Add tofu cubes in a single layer; sear until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total.
  4. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook for 30 seconds before adding carrots and cabbage. Stir-fry for about 4 minutes until veggies are tender yet crisp.
  5. Whisk together soy sauce and rice vinegar; pour over the stir-fry and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Cook for an additional minute, then serve hot with an optional drizzle of sesame oil.
