stiry fry - this time, with tofu...

Husband's reaction pre-dinner: "this isn't real food".
Husband's reaction post-dinner: "meh, wasn't bad". haha :)

stir fry

Why? Well, the tofu was just about to expire. and we still have tons of fresh produce from farmer's market (AKA my parents' garden) to eat up. So here goes...

Stir fry ingredients

-extra firm Tofu
-olive oil
-curry powder
-tarragon
-1 bag of stir fry veggies
-cut up fresh produce (in today's case, bell peppers!)
-bok choy (2 little things for 1 person)

Stir fry recipe

Bake tofu

HERE GOES!

bake the tofu:
-using a tofu press, "press" the water out of the tofu. (or in my case, use a plate and squish carefully so as not to totally mince it)
-marinate tofu in olive oil. For best flavor, do so overnight. (definitely did not have that kind of time or planning).
-for toaster oven: line pan with foil, take olive oil soaked tofu and bake on 425 for 20-25 min. season with whatever. I used lawry's seasoned salt, but TJs 21 seasoning salute usually does the trick
-flip tofu halfway thru to make it crispy on each side.
-when done set aside.

cook the vegetables

-a dab of olive oil in a wok or grill pan
-throw 'em in and cook!
-season with the curry powder and tarragon
-cook until crisp

cook the bok choy

-when veggies are done serve them onto their respective plates.
-usng the same oil, throw in bok choy. Remember: this is like cooking spinach- FAST.
-cook on high until bok choy is wilted.


SERVE the stir fry:
-place tofu on top of finished vegetables
-top with bok choy
