Colorful Miso Veggie Tofu Stir-Fry

May 9, 2025 Written by Harper

Today, I’m excited to share a unique dish inspired by a recent visit to a local farmers market. The vibrant colors and fresh ingredients sparked my creativity, leading me to create a flavor-packed recipe that combines unexpected elements for a delightful culinary experience.

Preparation

To begin, gather the following ingredients: 200g rainbow carrots, 150g purple sweet potatoes, 100g shiitake mushrooms, 1 lemongrass stalk, 50g fresh tarragon, 2 tbsp miso paste, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 red chili, 1 lime, and 250g tofu.

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • vegetable peeler
  • grater
  • zester
  • medium saucepan

Start by peeling and slicing the carrots and purple sweet potatoes into thin strips. Slice the shiitake mushrooms and tofu into bite-sized pieces. Mince the lemongrass, tarragon, and chili. In a saucepan, combine the miso paste, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and the juice of the lime. Add a splash of water and bring to a gentle simmer.

Cooking Process

Add the sliced vegetables and tofu to the simmering sauce. Let everything cook together until the vegetables are tender but still have a slight crunch. Stir in the minced lemongrass, tarragon, and chili for an added burst of flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

Serving

Once everything is cooked to perfection, serve the dish hot, allowing the colorful vegetables to take center stage. The aromatic lemongrass and tarragon will tantalize your taste buds, while the miso-based sauce adds a savory umami kick.

Don’t forget to sprinkle some lime zest on top for a zesty finish that brightens up the dish.

Tips

For an extra burst of freshness, squeeze some lime juice over the dish just before serving. This will enhance the flavors and bring a citrusy brightness to each bite.

For a unique twist, try grilling the tofu before adding it to the sauce for a smoky flavor that complements the other ingredients perfectly.

This dish weighs approximately 800g once cooked and serves four people. Each serving has around 250 calories, making it a nutritious and satisfying meal option.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this creative dish. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables or herbs to make it your own. Bon appétit!
