Tonight I made one of my favorite quick dishes, Tofu Stir Fry. There are three tricks that made this meal super easy and quick.
1. I press my tofu while I run.
2. I use frozen Stir Fry Vegetables.
3. I boil my water before I add it to the quinoa.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Quinoa
- 2 1/2 cups Water
- 1 16 oz package of Frozen Stir Fry Vegetables
- 1 block of Tofu (pressed)
- 3 tbsp of Canola Oil
- 1/2 cup of Teriyaki Sauce
Directions:
- Press tofu between two plates (and paper towels) for about 30 minutes. I do this just before my three mile run.
- Cut Tofu into small 1/4 inch squares. Combine Canola Oil and Tofu in a pan on high. Cover and let Tofu get crispy.
- Measure and rinse 2 cups of Quinoa while bringing 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil on the stove.
- Toast Quinoa on high heat for about 3 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
- Once water is boiling, pour the water over the toasted Quinoa. Once it comes to a rolling boil, put on simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Once Tofu is crispy (yes it may stick, but it should come loose later), add the Frozen Stir Fry Vegetables and the Teriyaki Sauce and reduce to medium heat.
- Once Quinoa has absorbed all the water, serve and enjoy!!!
Well friends, I have a lot to do tonight as I put away my things from Carolina and prepare for camping this coming weekend.
