Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk 2 tbsp miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Add 14 oz cubed tofu and toss to coat; let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated tofu and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
  3. Step 3: Remove tofu and set aside. Add 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup broccoli florets, and 1 medium julienned carrot to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Return tofu to the skillet and add 2 sliced green onions. Stir in the miso-teriyaki sauce and cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats vegetables.
  5. Step 5: Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds.
