Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 1 cup edamame beans (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Press the firm tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Sauté the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides (about 10-12 minutes).
- While the tofu cooks, chop the bell peppers and slice the green onions. If using frozen edamame, steam them until tender.
- Add the chopped bell peppers and edamame to the pan with tofu; sauté for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and sesame oil. Pour this sauce over the tofu mixture in the pan and toss well to coat.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
