How to Prepare Healthy Sesame Mushroom, Tofu, and Asparagus Stir-Fry [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Combine sesame seeds and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. Add the tofu pieces and toss gently to coat.
Combine 2 teaspoons peanut and sesame oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the tofu and stir-fry until golden, about 5-6 minutes. Remove tofu from the pan; keep warm.
In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons peanut oil, add mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the mushrooms start to brown. Add asparagus and cool for 4-5 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender.
Reduce heat to medium and add the sliced green onions.
In a small bowl, combine broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and chili garlic sauce.
Add this sauce to the vegetables in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.
Stir in the tofu and season with salt. Toss gently to combine. Serve hot over brown rice.

I only used 1 tsp of sesame oil and no peanut oil – sautéed in broth.
Also added grated ginger to sauce and some minced garlic to sauce and also sautéed with veggies.
A splash of rice wine vinegar brighten up the sauce.
