01
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, sriracha, brown sugar, and ginger. Pour this sauce over the tofu in another bowl and let it sit while you prepare the veggies.
02
Step 2
Heat some oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Start by cooking the onion until it’s soft and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the carrots and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 3
Add the bell pepper strips, broccoli, and garlic to the pan, stirring often. Let everything cook together for about 5 minutes so the veggies get tender but still have a bit of crunch.

Step 4
Now, pour in the tofu along with the sauce. Keep cooking and stirring until most of the liquid has thickened up and the veggies are just how you like them, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 5
Finish by seasoning with a pinch of salt, then stir in the cashews, mango chunks, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a bright, fresh touch. Give everything one last mix and it’s ready to serve!
