CrushedLemon1034

This vibrant vegan stir fry is a playful, electrifying dinner inspired by the unforgettable viral "kiss cam" moment at the Coldplay concert in Foxborough. Like that night, it’s full of bold colors, surprising twists, and a little bit of heat—perfect for sparking conversation and laughter around the table. High-heat wok technique brings out smoky, crave-worthy flavors (wok hei!), while crisp tofu and fresh local veggies represent that California summer vibe. Finished with a kiss of sesame and a scatter of crunchy nuts, this dish is as memorable and shareable as any viral sensation.

Ingredients

Instructions

Pat tofu dry, toss with cornstarch, and set aside.
Heat a large wok over high heat until just smoking. Add 1 tbsp oil, swirl to coat. Add tofu cubes in a single layer and fry, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp (6-8 min). Remove to a plate.
Return wok to high heat. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add garlic, ginger, and onion; toss for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add bell pepper, snap peas, and broccoli. Stir-fry with a forward scooping motion for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Return tofu to wok. Pour in soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and chili garlic sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly, cooking another 1-2 minutes until glossy and fragrant.
Turn off heat. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil. Scatter scallions and cashews/peanuts (if using) on top.
Serve immediately over hot steamed rice.
