Tofu Vegetable Stir-Fry

This recipe is awesome! I changed up the vegetables in it to whatever was in my fridge so I had white mushrooms, red pepper and carrots. I put this over some white sticky rice and it was great.

Ingredients 

1/4 cup (50 mL) sodium-reduced soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 mL) rice vinegar
1 tbsp (15 mL) hoisin sauce
2 tsp (10 mL) cornstarch
1 pkg extra-firm tofu
2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) gingerroot, minced
1 pinch hot pepper flakes
2 carrots, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) sliced & stemmed shiitake mushroom caps
1 cup (250 mL) snow peas, trimmed and cut diagonally in half
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tsp (10 mL) sesame oil

Preparation:

In small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, cornstarch and 3 tbsp (50 mL) water; set aside.

Pat tofu dry; cut into 3/4-inch (2 cm) cubes. In large wok, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry tofu until golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer to plate.

Heat remaining oil in wok over medium-high heat; stir-fry garlic, ginger and hot pepper flakes for 30 seconds.

Add carrots and mushrooms; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add 1 tbsp (15 mL) water; cover and steam until carrots are tender, about 3 minutes.

Add snow peas, tofu and soy sauce mixture; bring to boil and boil, stirring, until thickened and vegetables are tender, about 1 minute. Stir in green onions and sesame oil.
