Marinating Tofu

Ingredients

• 1 (14-ounce) block extra firm tofu (pressed)
• ½ of the prepared teriyaki sauce (prepared above)

Instructions for Marinating Tofu

1. Slice the tofu.Then cut each slice into 4 triangles. Cubing it is also a good option if you like it that way.

3. Let it marinate for 30 minutes (you can also leave it overnight in the fridge.) Toss or flip halfway.

• ½ cup sliced mushrooms
• 2 large carrots sliced
• 1 cup sugar snap peas
• 2 bell peppers cored and sliced
• 1½ cup broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons oil

Cooking Instructions for Tofu Stir Fry
