Instructions
Prepare the jasmine rice, using package directions but use vegetable broth instead of water.
In a small bowl, combine the vegetable broth, coconut aminos, and honey. Set aside.
For the stir-fry, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu, carrots, and mushrooms and cook for 4-6 minutes or until tender, stirring often.
Add the broccoli, bell pepper, snow peas, water chestnuts, baby corn and 2 tablespoons of water to the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Add the garlic and ginger, stir, and cook for about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the broth, tamari or coconut aminos, and honey mixture over the veggies and cook for about 30-60 seconds.
Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch with the cold water (you can use that same small bowl).
Stir the cornstarch mixture into the veggies and cook for about 1 minute, until the sauce starts to thicken.
Serve over rice.
Reheating Instructions
Heat in the microwave on medium high power or in a sauté pan over medium heat until heated through.
