Asian Tofu Stir-Fry with Peppers & Rice

Asian Tofu Stir-Fry with Bell Peppers & Rice

Asian Tofu Stir-Fry with Bell Peppers & Rice is a colorful, satisfying vegan meal that comes together in about 20 minutes. Tender tofu, crisp roasted cashews and fresh bell peppers are coated in a flavorful sauce made with garlic, chili, rice vinegar and soy sauce. Quick to prepare and full of texture, this stir-fry is ideal for busy weeknights, relaxed weekend dinners or an easy meal shared with family.

Why choose Asian Tofu Stir-Fry?

The star of this dish is the contrast between soft tofu and crunchy cashews. The simple sauce combines sweet, tangy and savory notes, giving the vegetables and tofu plenty of flavor without complicated preparation. Tofu adds plant-based protein, while fragrant jasmine rice makes the meal hearty and satisfying. The recipe is vegan, dairy-free and lactose-free. To keep it gluten-free, choose a certified gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.

Easy cooking tips and tasty variations

Press and pat the tofu dry with paper towels before cutting it into cubes. This helps it brown more effectively instead of steaming in the pan. Roast the cashews while stirring constantly, as they can burn quickly. Preparing the sauce before you start cooking makes the stir-fry come together smoothly. Add a few tablespoons of water to the sauce if you prefer a slightly thinner consistency. You can replace the bell peppers with broccoli, sugar snap peas or carrots, and adjust the amount of chili to suit your taste.

Best ways to serve this tofu stir-fry

Serve the hot stir-fry over jasmine rice and finish with the toasted cashews. Cucumber salad, sliced spring onions or lime wedges make fresh additions. For a relaxed meal, serve it family-style in a large bowl, or plate the rice and stir-fry separately for a neat, colorful presentation.
