Rice Vinegar

Directions

Prepare the tofu by removing it from the package. Wrap the tofu in paper towels and press between two plates. Let sit while you prepare the sauce.

Prepare the sauce by adding 2 Tbs Soy Sauce, 1 Tbs Rice Vinegar, a pinch of black pepper, ground ginger, and Thai hot chili flakes, Juice from 1/2 lime, 1 Tbs Corn Starch, 2 Tbs Peanut Butter, and 1/2 Cup Water. Stir together and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbs sesame oil on high heat. Once hot, add the tofu and splash with some soy sauce. Cook on high and flip until both sides are lightly crisp.

One cooked, remove from skillet and set aside.

In the same pan, return heat to high and cook onion, carrot, zucchini, bell pepper, edamame, mushrooms, and broccoli. Splash with rice vinegar.

Cook until the vegetables have softened.

Create a bare spot in the middle of the pan to add the sauce. Pour sauce in and allow it to sit until it begins to bubble and darken in color.

Stir sauce into vegetables, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer.

Add tofu to the pan and continue to simmer until vegetables are fully cooked through.

Serve over rice and optionally top with sesame seeds, basil or cilantro, and sriracha or even dry roasted peanuts!
