Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Yellow Squash and Tofu Stir Fry.
Step 1
To start your delicious stir-fry, grab a large skillet or wok and warm up some olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the minced garlic and let it sauté for about 30 seconds until it fills your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 3
Next, add the cubed yellow squash and zucchini to the skillet.
Step 4
Stir-fry these vibrant veggies for around 7 minutes, or until they become tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 5
When they’re just right, transfer them to a bowl and set them aside, letting their flavors mingle while you move on to the next step.
Step 6
Now, return the skillet to the heat and introduce the cubed tofu.
Step 7
Sprinkle a bit of brown sugar and drizzle some soy sauce over the tofu, allowing it to soak up those savory flavors.
Step 8
Cook the tofu for about 3 to 5 minutes, turning it occasionally until it’s beautifully golden brown on all sides.
Step 9
This is where the magic happens! Once your tofu is perfectly cooked, bring back the sautéed squash and zucchini to the skillet.
Step 10
Give everything a good stir and let it cook together for an additional 3 minutes, ensuring all the ingredients are heated through and the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 11
To finish off this delightful dish, stir in a splash of sriracha sauce for a kick of heat, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 12
Serve your vibrant stir-fry hot, and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite! This dish not only looks stunning on the plate but also brings a wonderful balance of textures and tastes that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
Step 13
Happy cooking!.
