Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon mirin until smooth; set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 300 grams firm tofu cubes and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden and crispy. Remove tofu and set aside.

  4. Step 4: Add 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 julienned carrot, and 100 grams snap peas. Stir-fry vegetables for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Return tofu to the wok, pour the miso-soy glaze over, and toss everything together for 2-3 minutes until the tofu and vegetables are evenly coated and the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with 2 chopped green onions before serving.
