This is a protein packed food with a good serving of vegetables. I used to shy away from tofu until I came across a recipe for tofu stir fry at allrecipes.com – This is a simple recipe, and this could be made with whatever stir fry vegetables you have.
Ingredients: makes 4 servings
1 pack firm tofu
1 broccoli head, cut into florets
½ colored bell pepper, diced
1 celery stack, diced
½ onion, sliced
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
pepper flakes (optional)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
½” ginger, minced
2 tablespoons oil
1/3 cup less sodium stir fry sauce
dry roasted peanuts
- Drain tofu before cutting into 3/4″ cubes – place uncut firm tofu in between several layers of paper towels and let a heavy bottom pan (I used a cast iron pan) to sit on top of it for few minutes 🙂
- Cut tofu into 3/4″ pieces
- Heat oil in a wok over high heat
- Add garlic, ginger, pepper flakes and stir-fry for few seconds
- Add onion, celery, bell pepper, broccoli florets and stir-fry 3 minutes
- Add stir-fry sauce, diced tomatoes and cut tofu
- Stir gently to coat tofu and vegetables with sauce – make sure not to break tofu 🙂
- Reduce heat and cook until tomatoes and tofu are heated through
- Sprinkle with dry roasted peanuts before serving
You won’t need to add salt as stir fry sauce has a good amount of sodium 😉
