Any night is stirfry night in my books. This stirfry combines tofu and veggies with gochujang sauce, peanut butter and sesame oil for a spicy, sticky, sweet combination to delight my tastebuds lol. I used tofu but soy curls would be equally delish. For veggies, I used broccoli and carrots but any vegetables, or even no vegetables, will do. No rules, just yum.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups rice of choice
15 oz block extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
2 Tbsp gochujang
2 Tbsp peanut butter
2 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce
2 tsp sugar(I used coconut sugar)
2 Tbsp sesame oil
1 head broccoli, cut into large florets
2 carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
2 scallions sliced
