Why I love this Tofu Broccoli Mushroom Stir Fry

Dietary needs - this tofu broccoli mushroom stir fry is plant-based, oil-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free
High protein - tofu is made of soy beans, meaning it's packed with protein. Plus, there's a surprising amount of protein in both broccoli and mushrooms. A serving of this vegan orange chicken has about 37 grams of protein!!
SO easy - this cooking method is one of my favorites because it is so quick and easy. The dish is ready before you know it!
Healthy stir fry - you can still have a delicious version of stir fry, without the frying

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Super Firm Tofu: I used Hodo tofu which is a super firm tofu that does not require any pressing. You can also make this orange tofu with regular 14-ounce blocks of extra firm tofu - you can press it while you make the sauce, or simply follow the recipe as written - your tofu may not be as crisp with this option.
Cremini Mushrooms: I like using cremini mushrooms (also known as baby bellas) because they have a stronger flavor, but feel free to use regular white button mushrooms
Broccoli: I used fresh broccoli, but you could also make this recipe with frozen broccoli to cut down on prep time
To serve: rice, sesame seeds, scallions

Tofu Broccoli Mushroom Stir Fry Ingredients

Stir Fry Sauce

Soy Sauce, Tamari, or Liquid Aminos: any of the three will work. If you need a gluten-free option, be sure to use liquid aminos or tamari.
Rice Vinegar: a bit of acid from the vinegar helps brighten up the sauce
Maple Syrup: for a completely fruit sweetened version use date syrup instead
Cornstarch: cornstarch helps thicken the sauce. You can sub arrowroot powder.
Fresh Garlic & Ginger: I recommend using fresh garlic and ginger if you can - the flavor will be brighter

FAQ & Expert Tips

Can I use a different protein?

Yep! If you'd prefer to use tempeh instead, you can sub it 1:1. You could also use a vegan chicken like Abbot's Butcher.
