Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Start by pressing the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes afterward.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the cubed tofu and sauté until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, stir in the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets, cooking until they are tender-crisp and vibrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Pour this mixture over the tofu and veggies, ensuring everything is coated well.
  5. Gently stir in the roasted cashews. Let it all simmer together for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Dish out the Sweet Soy Tofu & Cashew Stir Fry hot over a bed of steamed rice or noodles for a satisfying meal.
