I am such a major stir-fry lover. They come together quickly, only use one pan, and are super satisfying. What else could I ask for in a recipe?!

As a Registered Dietitian, I also love stir fries since they’re such an easy way to pack a ton of vegetables into one meal. Plus, they follow a simple formula that I love to use for balanced meals, which includes a source of protein, healthy fats, fiber-rich carbohydrates and veggies!

Teriyaki Tofu Stir Fry Main Ingredients and Substitutions

Teriyaki Tofu: This easy homemade Teriyaki Tofu is the main protein source of the dish! If you’re skeptical about tofu, I’m confident this recipe will change your mind.

Teriyaki Stir Fry Sauce: This quick, 5-Minute Teriyaki Stir Fry Sauce adds so much flavor to this stir fry! I’ll bet that you already have all of the ingredients to make it on hand, but if not, feel free to substitute it with your favorite store-bought teriyaki sauce!

Veggies: I used snow peas, bell peppers, bok choy and shaved carrot in this stir fry. Broccoli or mushrooms would also work well!

Udon noodles: I love the texture that udon noodles give this stir fry, but you can use rice noodles if you’d prefer. Although I’ve never tried making this stir fry with rice, I’m sure it would be equally as delicious, and two cups of cooked rice would probably suffice.

Udon, rice and buckwheat noodles are three of my favorite grains to have on hand since they’re so easy to cook in just a few minutes. We also use them in my Peanut Lime Noodle Bowl, Mason Jar Instant Noodles and Miso Orange Noodles.

How to Make This Teriyaki Stir Fry

Start by making the 5-Minute Teriyaki Stir Fry Sauce.
Heat a large pan over medium heat with the sesame oil.
Add the Teriyaki Tofu to the pan, reserving the extra Teriyaki Sauce to use later, and cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping every 3 minutes. Try not to flip the tofu too often, as we want to allow for some browning and crisping on the sides.
Once the tofu is crispy, add the vegetables and sauté for another 3-5 minutes, until the carrot and peppers have wilted slightly.
Create a space in the pan to place the udon noodles. Pour the leftover Teriyaki Sauce over top, and allow the udon noodles to separate and heat through, mixing the stir fry together once the noodles have separated. This should take about 5 minutes.
Taste the stir fry and feel free to flavor with additional sesame oil, soy sauce or sriracha as needed.
Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lime, serve and enjoy!
