Instructions
1. Mix the 6 tbsp. of hoisin sauce, 2 tbsp. olive oil, 2 tbsp. soy sauce, 3 tbsp. apple-cider vinegar, 4 tbsp. apple sauce (used as a sugar substitute), 3 cups vegetable broth and minced garlic in a small pot. Place the pot on a burner over medium-high heat and stir occasionally.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil. Mix 3 tbsp. cornstarch with 3/4 cup of water and pour in the sauce mixture; blend well.
3. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the mixture thickens. Turn the heat off and set the aside to cool.
4. Pour 2 tbsp. olive oil into a large skillet. Stir-fry the tofu in olive oil until it is browned. Add 2 tbsp. of soy sauce and let it heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Add chopped green onions, red bell pepper strips, broccoli, corn and peas into the skillet with the tofu. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5 minutes.
6. Spoon the mixture into the skillet with the tofu. Cook for 15 minutes, or until broccoli is soft and tender.
7. Toss chopped mushrooms into the stir-fry while the mixture is still hot. Serve over white or fried rice or chow mein noodles.
