This Quick Teriyaki Tofu Stir Fry is a fast, flavorful plant-based meal made with golden tofu cubes, crisp-tender vegetables, and a glossy teriyaki glaze. Perfect for busy weeknights, it comes together in just 20 minutes and is delicious served over rice or noodles.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 small red or green bell pepper, diced

1/2 medium red or yellow onion, diced

1 cup frozen chopped broccoli

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 (12.5-ounce) block firm or extra-firm tofu, cubed

1/3 cup store-bought teriyaki sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat the canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and sauté until lightly golden on each side, turning carefully to brown evenly.
  2. Add the diced bell pepper, onion, frozen broccoli, and minced garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  3. Pour the teriyaki sauce evenly over the tofu and vegetables.
  4. Continue cooking on medium-high heat until the sauce thickens and is mostly absorbed, gently flipping the tofu to coat each piece evenly.
  5. Serve immediately over steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles if desired.

Notes

  • For crispier tofu, lightly coat cubes in cornstarch before sautéing.
  • Use gluten-free teriyaki sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Choose reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce for a lower-sodium version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.
  • Freezing is not recommended as texture may change.
