Exploring new flavors: Lemon Pepper Tofu Stir-Fry

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s perfect for those busy weeknights when you want to whip up something quick, easy, and packed with flavor. This Lemon Pepper Tofu Stir-Fry is a refreshing twist on a classic Asian dish, using unexpected ingredients to create a delicious and satisfying meal.

For this recipe, you’ll need:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• wok
• wooden spoon

Here’s what you’ll need for the ingredients:

• 400g firm tofu, cubed
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small zucchini, sliced
• 1 cup snap peas
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon (zest and juice)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt to taste

Start by heating olive oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and stir-fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove the tofu from the wok and set it aside.

In the same wok, add the minced garlic and sliced bell peppers. Cook until the peppers are slightly softened, then add the zucchini and snap peas. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Return the tofu to the wok and add the soy sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well combined. Season with salt to taste.

Serve the Lemon Pepper Tofu Stir-Fry hot, garnished with extra lemon zest for a burst of freshness. This dish weighs approximately 1200g after cooking and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 300g and has an estimated calorie count of 250 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to marinate the tofu in lemon juice and black pepper for a few hours before cooking. This will infuse the tofu with even more flavor and make it extra delicious.

I hope you enjoy this unique twist on a classic stir-fry! Feel free to customize it with your favorite vegetables or add a splash of hot sauce for some heat. Happy cooking!
