Vegetarian Recipe: Tofu Stir Fry

Quick Easy Vegan Tofu Stir Fry Recipe from Vegetarian Kitchen

4 Servings: A delectable tofu stir-fry that's made simple with the use of a prepared stir-fry sauce. Served over noodles or rice, this dish makes a quick and easy, but nourishing and satisfying supper.

This vegan tofu recipe is from Nava Atlas of Vegetarian Kitchen, reprinted with permission from her April 2006 newsletter.

I love Nava's recipes because they're so simple, elegant, and quick. She's a busy person, and knows all the shortcuts, but never compromises on nutrition or taste.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb firm or extra firm tofu
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 3 to 4 scallions (or other green spring onion such as ramps or Egyptian onion), thinly sliced
• 1 good-sized bunch bok choy (stalks and leaves), sliced crosswise and rinsed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 to 4 tablespoons natural, good-quality stir-fry sauce, or to taste
• 2 - 4 tblsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped peanuts, optional

Directions:

1. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Blot well between clean tea-towels or several layers of paper towel, then cut into 1/2-inch dice.
2. Heat the oil in a stir-fry pan or wide skillet. Add the tofu and stir-fry over medium-high heat until golden on most sides.
3. Add the bok choy, scallions, garlic, stir-fry sauce, and about 2 tablespoons of water. Quickly stir together, then stir-fry for another 3 to 4 minutes, just until the bok choy and its leaves are wilted.
4. Stir in the optional peanuts and serve at once.
