Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ block extra firm tofu pressed and cut into slices
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots (or a medley with green beans and corn too)
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Bring a medium skillet with olive oil to medium-high heat.
- Once warm, add the onion and garlic and cook 2 minutes until it sizzles. Add the tofu and cook for 3-5 minutes until it begins to turn golden. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the frozen peas and carrots and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Then, add the coconut aminos and maple syrup. Cook for about 8 minutes, turning once or twice. The tofu will become crisp and dark golden.
