Instructions
Making Vegan Marry Me Tofu is a simple process if you follow these easy steps:
- Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.
- Marinate the Tofu: In a bowl, mix soy sauce and maple syrup. Add the tofu cubes and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Coat the Tofu: In a separate bowl, toss the marinated tofu cubes in cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Bell Peppers: Toss in the red and green bell peppers along with chili flakes for a hint of heat. Stir-fry for another 5 minutes until they're tender but still crisp.
- Combine Everything: Return the tofu to the skillet and drizzle sesame oil over the mixture. Toss everything to ensure it's well combined and heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.
