Ginger Tofu Stir-fry

I married a man who was raised in Texas on beef. Tofu was one of those wacky California hippie foods. Are you guilty of this same perception? I have made a believer out of many people, including my husband. Tofu is high in protein but low in flavor, so it is easily combines with many flavors. If you like a “meatier” texture, freeze the tofu then unthaw it. That being said, you can also make this with chicken, shrimp or beef.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
½ medium yellow onion, cut into thin half circles
2 ½ cups fresh or frozen broccoli, chopped
1 carrot, cut into thin strips
1 celery rib, cut into ½ inch pieces
2 big handfuls of snow peas
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
6 oz. low-fat tofu, cut into cubes
Dash of salt

Process:
  1. In a wok, heat extra virgin olive oil and add onion and ginger. Sauté for about 3 minutes over medium heat.
  2. Add mushrooms and cook until moisture evaporates (about 3 minutes).
  3. Add peas, celery, broccoli and carrots and stir for a few minutes. Add the soy sauce, stirring frequently.
  4. Add the tofu and cook until warmed through. Add salt for taste.
