Spicy Tofu And Vegetable Stir Fry Recipes

15-MINUTE TOFU AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Prepare the rice according to the package directions. Peel and finely grate the ginger and put it into a small baking dish or medium bowl along with the soy sauce, garlic chili sauce and sesame oil. Whisk to combine.
• Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cut the baked tofu into 1-inch-by-1/2-inch pieces and add to the marinade. Stir to combine and reserve. Fill a small measuring cup or bowl with cold water and keep by the stovetop.
• Add the canola oil to the hot pan and swirl to coat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook until tender and browned in spots, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add the stir-fry vegetable mix and a large pinch of salt. Cook until crisp tender, 3 to 5 minutes (the cooking time will depend on the size of the vegetables in the mix). If at any time the pan seems too hot, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add the marinated tofu to the vegetables along with 2 tablespoons water. Cook until the tofu is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer the stir-fry to a large platter. Scatter the cashews on top and serve alongside the rice.

SPICY VEGGIE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• For the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain, then drizzle with some sesame oil and a little soy sauce in a large bowl and toss.
• For the stir-fry: While the noodles are cooking, mix together the soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, sriracha and ginger in a bowl. Set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute more, stirring continuously. Add the zucchini and stir it around, cooking it for 2 minutes more. Add the baby corn and broccoli and cook for a couple of minutes.
• While the veggies are still firm, pour in the sauce. Stir the veggies in the sauce and cook until the sauce is very thick, 1 to 2 minutes more. If it needs to be a little saucier, pour in 1/4 to 1/2 cup hot water and splash in a little more soy sauce.
• Serve the stir-fry over the noodles with a sprinkling of sesame seeds and some slice green onions.
