Crispy Tofu Stir Fry

Instructions

1. Slice tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices and place in a single layer between paper towels on a plate. Place another plate on top of paper towels and weigh the plate down with a large pan to press out excess liquid from tofu. Allow to drain for 15 minutes.
2. Place sesame seeds on a plate and press drained tofu into sesame seeds to coat on both sides.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Place tofu in pan and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on both sides until golden brown. Remove from pan. Cut drained tofu into bite-sized pieces and cover to keep warm.
4. Add remaining oil to the pan and add vegetables and onion slices. Stir and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until vegetables start to soften. Reduce heat to medium and add about 1/3 cup of water to the pan. Cover and steam vegetables for 3 to 4 more minutes until tender, but not mushy.
5. Remove lid and add peanut sauce. Toss to coat vegetables and return tofu to pan. Stir gently to combine. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
