Zesty Tofu Stir-Fry Bursting with Flavor

Ingredients

• ¼ cup of soy sauce
• ¼ cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
• A tablespoon of spicy sriracha sauce
• One tablespoon of rich brown sugar
• A teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
• A package of extra-firm tofu (12 ounces), cut into bite-sized cubes
• Two tablespoons of light canola oil
• One small onion, finely chopped
• Two medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 3-inch pieces
• A vibrant red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• A fresh green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• A cup of crisp broccoli florets
• Five cloves of garlic, minced
• Salt to your taste preference
• Half a cup of toasted cashews, roughly chopped
• One juicy mango, chopped
• An eighth cup of zesty lime juice
• An eighth cup of freshly minced cilantro

Step 1

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fresh orange juice, a touch of spicy sriracha sauce, brown sugar, and grated ginger for a zesty marinade. Pour this flavorful mixture over cubes of tofu in another bowl and let it marinate while you prepare the veggies.

Step 2

In a frying pan over medium-high heat, warm some oil until it shimmers. Begin by sautéing the onion until it becomes translucent, which should take around 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add in the carrots and continue to sauté for an extra 3 to 5 minutes until they start to soften. Toss in vibrant bell pepper strips, crunchy broccoli florets, and minced garlic, cooking and stirring frequently for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Now, introduce the marinated tofu to the pan, cooking and stirring until the liquid reduces and the veggies reach their desired tenderness, which may take an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Season the stir-fry with a pinch of salt, then fold in some buttery cashews, sweet mango chunks, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a burst of citrusy goodness. Enjoy this colorful and flavorful dish as a delightful and nutritious meal!
