For extra crispy tofu, consider pan-frying the tofu cubes separately before adding them to the sauce.
Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your desired level of sweetness.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preference and what's in season. Broccoli florets, snow peas, or bok choy would be excellent additions.
If you don't have arrowroot powder, cornstarch can be used as a substitute. Use the same amount.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and visual appeal.
