Instructions

  1. Step 1: Press 14 oz firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.

  5. Step 5: Stir in 6 oz snap peas and the miso sauce, then mix in 1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp water. Cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats vegetables evenly.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with 1 tsp sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Miso Stir-Fry Tofu with Broccoli and Snap Peas take to make?

Total time is about 20 minutes (10 min prep + 10 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Miso Stir-Fry Tofu with Broccoli and Snap Peas?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep firm tofu from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Miso Stir-Fry Tofu with Broccoli and Snap Peas?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Miso Stir-Fry Tofu with Broccoli and Snap Peas for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

What goes well with Miso Stir-Fry Tofu with Broccoli and Snap Peas?

Asian healthy bowls like this pair well with a simple grain (rice, couscous, or crusty bread), a quick salad with acid (lemon vinaigrette, pickled onions), and a pan sauce or yogurt-based dip. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.
