How to Make Balsamic Tofu Vegetable Medley

  1. Spray a large wok or pot with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  2. Add 14 oz (400g) firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed, and sauté for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove tofu from the wok and set aside.
  3. Add 1 lb (450g) asparagus spears, trimmed, 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color), 1/2 cup chopped red onion, and 1 cup chopped mango to the wok. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste).
  5. Return the tofu to the wok and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve immediately over 1 cup cooked brown rice per serving, or enjoy on its own.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
