Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL / 0.5 fl oz) coconut or olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL / 0.5 fl oz) minced ginger
  • 1 cup (250 mL) diced daikon radish
  • 1 cup (250 mL) diced sweet potato
  • 1 cup (250 mL) diced carrots
  • 1 cup (250 mL) diced red or green bell peppers
  • 1 cup (250 mL) diced firm tofu
  • 3/4 cup (185 mL) Teriyaki Sauce, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL / 1 fl oz) chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • For firmer, less watery tofu, press it for at least 30 minutes before dicing. Wrap the tofu block in paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, place it on a plate, and put something heavy on top.
  • Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what's in season or in your fridge. Broccoli florets, snap peas, edamame, or shiitake mushrooms are all fantastic additions.
  • To make this a complete meal, serve over steamed brown rice, quinoa, or soba noodles. A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds on top adds a lovely crunch and nutty flavor.

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until it becomes soft and translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic, ginger, daikon radish, sweet potato, carrots, bell peppers, and tofu to the skillet.
  4. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and stir to coat everything evenly.
  6. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Remove from heat.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and serve immediately.
