Author: My Dairy Free Gluten Free Life

Ingredients

For the sauce

  • 1 tsp large "knob" of fresh ginger or more to your taste grated finely
  • 4 cloves garlic you can use less if you are not as much of a garlic-lover as I am, chopped finely
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp blackstrap molasses rich in iron and other minerals
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 blocks extra firm tofu cut into bite sized cubes

ADD after tofu sauteed

  • 1 bunch green onions cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Whisk all sauce ingredients together and set aside.
  • Next, cut up 2 blocks extra firm tofu into bite-size cubes. Dump the tofu into the bowl of sauce and let it marinade at least 30 minutes.
  • Pour 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok. Add the tofu and sauce and Saute for 15 minutes and the tofu is heated through and nicely browned.  (At this point you could add peas or other veggies to cook through.)
  • Sprinkle 2 tbsp of sesame seeds and the diced green onion into the wok with the sauteed tofu, mix, and let the whole mixture simmer 5 minutes until all the flavors are melded and everything is carmelized and delicious.
  • Serve with rice.

    I’m new to your site and loving it! I am doing the Arbonne 30 day Fit Challenge so I will be visiting your site a lot! Question though: If eliminating soy from diet, tofu would be a no-no, correct?

    I’m not a fan of tofu but I still think this looks and sounds super tasty! Instead of tofu I’d put portobello mushrooms as I’m addicted to shrooms.

    I totally believe you about not scrimping on the sauce and that it’s usually the magic ingredient, especially for Asian stir fries! This looks delicious! I love the copious amount of garlic and ginger! What a burst of flavor! Also loving the inclusion of the sugar snap peas! Yum! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    I’ve heard that gluten isn’t very good for me either, so I was looking for good recipes! This one seems interesting, though I have picky tastes, but I’ll try it! 🙂

    This sounds great. I just picked up some tofu yesterday (firm, not extra-firm though). Still I’m going to fix this later, thanks!

    ½” knob of fresh garlic, grated finely….Should be “Ginger”, right?

    Sounds like an amazing recipe!!

    Great flavors, I don’t remember seeing blackstrap molasses in a stir fry recipe before. You are posting appealing recipes faster than I can try them. Good thing recipes do not get stale.
