Feel free to use other quick-cooking vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, baby corn, bok choy, or edamame.
To make this recipe gluten-free, simply substitute the soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
For extra crunch and healthy fats, toss in a handful of roasted cashews or peanuts at the end.
Add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to the sauce for a creamy, satay-like flavor, or a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce for extra heat.

Yes, this dish is very healthy. It's packed with plant-based protein from tofu, fiber from the vegetables, and healthy fats. Using low-sodium soy sauce helps manage sodium intake, making it a well-balanced and nutritious meal.
The most common reasons for soggy tofu are not pressing out enough water or coating it insufficiently with cornstarch. Ensure you press the tofu for at least 15 minutes and that each cube has a light, even coating of cornstarch before frying in hot oil.
Yes, you can use frozen vegetables. It's best to thaw them and pat them dry before adding to the hot skillet to avoid excess water, which can make the stir-fry soggy. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave. Note that the tofu will lose some of its original crispiness upon reheating.
