- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or button mushrooms work well)
- 1 block of firm tofu, cubed
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari for a gluten-free option)

- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until lightly browned on all sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic and sliced onion until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas, julienned carrots, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the vegetables and tofu. Toss everything together until the sauce coats the vegetables and tofu evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the stir-fry with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. 7. Serve the Delicious Veggie Stir-Fry over cooked rice or noodles. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious meal!
