Garlic Tofu Stir-Fry with Cauliflower

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
The soul of wok cooking is 'Wok Hei', or the breath of the wok. This is the slightly smoky flavor created at high temperatures, which you can mimic at home if you let the pan get truly hot. The crunch of cauliflower and carrots, the softness of tofu, and the spicy garlic sauce result in a dynamic, quick dinner.

⚠️ Soy
⚠️ Sesame

Instructions

1 ✓

Dice the tofu, pat it dry, and fry in hot canola oil in the wok until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Tip: If the tofu is wet, the oil will splatter and it won't brown properly.
2 ✓

Break the cauliflower into very small florets and cut the carrots into matchsticks.

Tip: Small pieces cook quickly while staying crisp.
3 ✓

Reheat the wok, add a little oil, and stir-fry the cauliflower and carrots for 3-4 minutes while tossing.

Tip: Don't let it sit; constant motion is key.
4 ✓

Add sesame oil, crushed garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.

Tip: Add aromatics at the end so they don't burn from the high heat.
5 ✓

Pour in the soy sauce, return the tofu to the pan, and toss until the liquid evaporates. Serve garnished with sesame seeds and cilantro.

Tip: The soy sauce caramelizes on the hot surface, creating the flavor.

Recipe FAQ

What oil should I use?
Use an oil with a high smoke point (e.g., canola, grapeseed, peanut). Olive oil would burn at this temperature.
