Tofu Stir Fry


We had a bottle of General Tao stir fry sauce sitting in the fridge so we decided to put it to use tonight. These stir fry sauces from Superstore are great for a quick meal.

It's the first Tuesday of the month and Safeway has a 10% discount so we saved all our grocery shopping for tonight. Since we had to do the grocery shopping tonight, we had to make a quick dish - stir fry.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pkg fried tofu
  • 1 small head of broccoli
  • 1 leek
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 1 clove shallot
  • 1 carrot
  • handful of mushrooms (about 4 large)
  • half a bunch of cilantro
  • 1 bell pepper

Steps:

1. If you want to serve it on rice, start the rice now.

2. Chop all your ingredients up and drain the tofu.

3. Cook the onion family first (garlic, shallot, and ginger). Then add the vegetables that take longer to cook (broccoli and carrot). Last, add the vegetables that don't require too much time to cook (cilantro, mushrooms, and bell pepper). Mix in the tofu and sauce.

4. Serve on rice and you're done!

5. Of course for me, no dish is complete without a bit of chili sauce.

  1. I really like tofu specially if it was paired in a stir fried chicken. I hope that I can cook it on my own because this is my first time to cook a stir fry recipe. Thanks for sharing this here.
