Vegan Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce

@cokocooks

Stir fry is a super easy weeknight meal. It is a wonderful way to make a bunch of vegetables taste delicious, and you can use veggies you prefer. I love this vegan stir fry because it is simple, the vegetables are roasted, and the sauce is to die for good!

Ingredients

Every time I go to an asian restaurant I always love trying all the different sauces, dressings, or spreads. A sesame sauce was my favorite for a long time, then I went through a sweet and sour phase, but now any peanut sauce will always be my go to. The peanut sauce in this stir fry is what makes this dish shine. It is smooth, thick, has a little kick, and it is just so tasty with all the veggies. I know a typical stir fry is cooked in a large skillet or wok, but I am such a roasted veggie fan so I decided to cook them in the oven. Plus, you just put them on the pan and let them cook. No standing over the stove and stirring while the veggies cook. Another great component to this dish is you can choose to add whatever vegetables or protein you like and leave out what you don’t like. The smoked tofu gets nice and crispy in the oven and absorbs all the delicious sauce. It adds a great texture and smokey flavor to the recipe, but you could also add beef or chicken.

This vegan stir fry is another versatile dinner idea. Serve it with rice noodles, rice, or naan, however you want. I would definitely add more veggies if you are not adding a starch to the dinner. I love this quick meal for a delicious and nutritious meal during the week. It also makes great leftovers for lunch the following day. If your in the mood for a healthy asian inspired dinner definitely give this meal a try! If you enjoy Asian inspired meals be sure to try my sesame cauliflower recipe.
