- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 orange bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup sliced carrots

- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

Instructions:
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas, carrots, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, and maple syrup or agave nectar. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and tofu in the skillet.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thickened and glossy.
- Return the cooked tofu to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce and vegetables.
- Serve the vegan stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and visual appeal.
