Ingredients
- 2/3 package extra firm organic tofu
- 1 tsp oil
- 1.5 cups steamed broccoli florets cut into small pieces
- 1 cup edamame
- 1 cup cooked noodles
Garnishes
- cilantro
- sauteed mushrooms

Sauce
- 2 tbsp gochujang sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp water
- 1.5 tbsp agave or maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
Preparation
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water.
Cut the tofu into thin pieces.
Add oil to a large pan and place the tofu pieces without overlapping; cook in batches if necessary.
Cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
When the tofu is cooked, add the sauce and toss to coat.
Serve with steamed broccoli, edamame, cooked noodles, and garnishes.
Tips
This dish is flavorful, versatile, and simple; pair the tofu with your choice of vegetables or noodles.
The sauce permeates the tofu and may caramelize slightly during cooking.
Gochujang sauce can be found online or in most grocery stores for added tang and flavor.
