Ingredients

  • vegetables of your choice - chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, asparagus (really, the skies the limit)
  • soy sauce (use liquid coconut aminos for a gluten-free version)
  • broth or vegetable/sesame oil*
  • 1 package of tofu
  • ground ginger optional
  • onion powder
  • garlic powder (or you could use fresh garlic!)
  • greens of your choice I've used arugula here, but kale, baby spinach, or cabbage would also work well

Instructions

  • Heat the broth or oil over medium heat.
  • Once hot, add the vegetables and cook until they are nearly cooked through (about 6-7 minutes).
  • Add the soy sauce to taste (about 2-3 tbsp, but this also depends on how many vegetables you've used), as well as the other spices. Mix in.
  • Add the tofu and cook for 3-4 minutes, until hot.
  • If you're adding greens, add them last so that they can wilt at the end. Cook until they are just wilted. Then your tofu stir-fry is ready to be served!

Notes

*Sesame oil adds a really great flavor to stir-fries.
**You serve your stir-fry plain or over rice, vermicelli noodles, ramen noodles - get creative!
