Shan's Secret (Easy) Stir Fry

Do you have a go-to weeknight meal, for those nights you are tired from work, kids, men (ha!) or your new puppy?  This is mine.  This stir fry is an easy mix of only a few ingredients and is delish.  You can alter the specific veggies to suit your taste.  Leave a comment and tell me your go-to meal, I'd love to hear them!

Basic ingredients:

Broccoli

Fresh spinach

Carrots

Green and yellow peppers

Red onion

Super Firm Tofu-Trader Joe's is my fav, very substantial, as in you need a sharp knife to cut it.  None of that silken style tofu (sorry Chinese restaurants)!

Additional ingredients:

Jasmine Rice 

Tamari sauce You can sub soy sauce for this, but pick some up next time you shop, the flavor is much richer. You'll thank the blondie!

365 Organic Soy Ginger Sauce, KEY INGREDIENT, buy at Whole Foods

Spectrum Organic Asian Stir Fry Oil, KEY INGREDIENT, buy at Whole Foods

**IF YOU DO NOT BUY THE 2 KEY INGREDIENTS, I CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR HOW BORING YOUR DINNER TASTES.  JUST SAYIN... :)

1) Start by chopping up all veggies.  Also, get the boiling water and rice going, according to the package's instructions.  Most are: add water and rice at a 2:1 ratio, bring to a boil then simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.

2) Next cut tofu into 1"x1"cubes.  Or strips, or big squares, however the spirit moves you.....

3) Heat a few tbsp of the Asian oil over medium heat for a few minutes. Your kitchen will smell deee-vine!   A wok works best,  Add the tofu and cook, turning frequently until golden brown.  You can also start to add a few splashes of Tamari or Soy Sauce, whichever you are using.  Please, for the love of good food, do not use low-sodium varieties in this recipe.  It just won't taste the same and will anger the stir-fry gods.

4) Add in the veggies, saving the spinach for last.  Cook several minutes while stirring frequently.  Add Soy Ginger sauce generously over the cooking veggies and tofu.  Cover.

5)  Remove rice from heat, spoon into bowls.  Then top with stir-fry hot from the wok.  If you like additional "heat," add a bit of Red Rooster (Sriracha) Sauce too.

Enjoy!
