How to Make Tofu with Stir Fry Vegetables:

  2. Cover the tofu with the towel, and place a heavy plate or pan atop the tofu. This will help drain out some of the moisture. Let sit for 10 minutes or all day in the fridge.
  3. To a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, maple syrup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and cornstarch. Set aside. 
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and spray with olive oil. 
  5. Add the tofu, bell peppers, onions, green beans, and carrots to the pan. Sprinkle with pepper and cook for 9 minutes until the veggies start to soften.
  6. Add the kale and cook for 2-5 minutes until it starts to wilt.
  7. Pour in the sauce to the veggies and continue to cook for an additional 1 minute until thickened.
