Sesame Tofu StirfryIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small zucchini, diced
5 to 6 shoots of asparagus
1 small head bok choy
1 pound firm or extra firm tofu, cubed
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
salt and pepper
cayenne pepper
paprika
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed in 1 tablespoon water
Directions:This is good served with rice. If you want to make rice, start cooking it while you prepare the stir fry.
1) Heat oil in a large skillet and fry the ginger and garlic in oil for about 2 minutes on medium heat. Add in the vegetables and fry until soft. Add the tofu and fry for about 5 minutes. You can use almost any vegetables you want, I just used what I had on hand.
2) Add the vegetable stock, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Season with salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne to taste. I personally like a lot of spice so I usually use 1 teaspoon of cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika with just a few dashes of salt and pepper.
3) Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Just before removing it from the heat, add the cornstarch mixture to thicken it, mixing welll.
Serve over rice and enjoy!
