Vegan Spicy Honey Garlic Stir Fry is a bold and vibrant dish featuring crispy tofu, fresh vegetables, and a sticky-sweet, spicy garlic sauce made with a vegan honey alternative. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s a quick, healthy, and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

  1. 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  2. 2 tbsp cornstarch (for coating tofu)
  3. 2 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil (for frying)
  4. 2 cups broccoli florets
  5. 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  6. 1 cup carrots, julienned or sliced
  7. 1 cup snow peas or snap peas
  8. 3 garlic cloves, minced
  9. 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

For the Vegan Spicy Honey Garlic Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1–2 tsp chili flakes or sriracha (adjust to spice preference)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup water

Instructions

Press tofu to remove excess water, then cut into cubes and toss with cornstarch until lightly coated.

  1. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tofu until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, sauté garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir fry 4–6 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili flakes or sriracha, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
  5. Return tofu to the pan, pour in sauce, and stir to coat. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Remove from heat and serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Swap tofu for tempeh, seitan, or chickpeas for variety.
  • Add zucchini, mushrooms, or baby corn for more veggies.
  • Adjust spice level by increasing or reducing chili flakes or sriracha.
  • For a soy-free version, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Best served fresh, but leftovers store well up to 4 days.
