Method
 

How to Make Zesty Fresh Lime and Ginger Vegan Stir-Fry
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Clean and chop your mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Don’t forget to drain and press the tofu to remove any excess moisture before cutting it into cubes.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, freshly squeezed lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil until the mixture is well combined. Set this flavorful sauce aside for later.
  3. Cook Tofu: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once ready, add the tofu cubes and cook them until golden brown on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the mixed vegetables along with a pinch of salt. Sauté them for around 5 minutes until they turn tender yet still maintain a crisp texture.
  5. Combine Everything: Pour the prepared sauce over the tofu and vegetables, stirring well so everything is coated evenly with that zesty goodness.
  6. Serve: Serve your stir-fry warm over a bed of rice or quinoa. For an extra burst of flavor, consider garnishing with fresh lime wedges before enjoying!
