Creating the Tofu and Shrimp Protein Bowl is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes and set aside.
2. Marinate Shrimp: In a bowl, mix shrimp with half of the soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
4. Cook Tofu: Add the cubed tofu to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
6. Add Shrimp: Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
7. Combine Ingredients: Return the tofu to the skillet. Add the remaining soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
8. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
9. Serve: Spoon the mixture over a bed of cooked brown rice or quinoa.
