Ginger Soy Stir Fry

Ingredients

  • 2 Cloves of Garlic
  • 30g of Fresh Ginger
  • 15ml of Maple Syrup
  • 80ml of Tamari or Soy Sauce
  • 45ml of Sesame Oil
  • 30ml of Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 400g of Firm Tofu
  • 350g of Broccoli
  • 4 Spring Onions
  • 250g of Mushrooms
  • 1/2 a Chinese Cabbage
  • 20g of Sesame Seeds

This is a great way to get loads of greens in without skimping on comfort, it’s perfect for midweek. The tofu goes gorgeously crisp in the sticky marinade and you can play around with the veg and use what you have. Serve it with rice, quinoa or noodles.

Mince the garlic. Peel and grate the ginger. Add them to a small bowl with the maple syrup, tamari, apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and whisk together.

Pat the tofu dry and slice it into cubes. Place them in a shallow dish and pour over the marinade. Leave it to marinade for as long as you can (10 mins- 24 hours).

Chop the broccoli into florets and slice the spring onions, mushrooms and cabbage.

Add a tablespoon of sesame oil to a large pan on medium high heat. Add the tofu, leaving the marinade in the dish, and cook for about 5-10 minutes until browned on all sides. Then add the tofu back to the dish with the marinade.

Add all of veg to the pan, toss well and cook for another 5 minutes until starting to get tender.

Pour over the marinade and tofu, toss and then let it simmer for a few minutes until the liquid reduces.

In another pan, toast the sesame seeds until golden.

When the sauce has reduced, serve with the sesame seeds sprinkled on top.

    Can you recommend good tofu and where to buy it? I have found most supermarket tofu disintegrates quickly

      I use the Clearspot organic firm one, it’s great. I get it in Nourish which is in my local Dunnes and they also have stand alone shops and an online shop x

    It’s a great recipe but I will either drastically reduce or just leave out the maple syrup. It’s too sweet for me. It’s a nice dish otherwise
