149:Tofu Stir Fry with Bok Choy, Snow Peas, Onions & Mushrooms

We got Bok choy in our CSA box today and there were still snow peas left from last week's share, so we tried a Martha Stewart recipe: http://www.marthastewart.com/312601/tofu-stir-fry

We made some 10 minute brown rice to go with the stir fry.

This stir fry has a very light sauce.

We all agreed that it was very tasty and the lime added a nice flavor

L. said the tofu was excellent. 

 Ingredients

• 1 pound firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, plus more for serving (there was only 1 tbs left in the bottle - so we added 1 tbs of vegan Worcestershire sauce)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 2 small onions, cut into wedges
• 9 ounces button mushrooms, quartered (we used an 8 oz package)
• 1 large red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into 1-inch squares (we had one strip of a red pepper, about 1/4 of a yellow one and 1/2 of a green)
• 1 1/4 pounds bok choy, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, stem and green pieces separated
• 1/4 pound snow peas, trimmed
• 5 paper-thin slices fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 teaspoons cold water
• Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

1. Halve tofu block lengthwise; slice each half into 8 rectangles. Arrange on a paper towel-lined baking sheet; top with more paper towels and another baking sheet. Weight with canned goods or a skillet. Refrigerate overnight or at least 20 minutes.
2. Transfer tofu to a shallow dish. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil with 1 tablespoon water; pour over tofu. Marinate 5 minutes (reserve marinade).
3. Heat canola oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook tofu until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Set tofu aside.

Stirring constantly, cook onions in skillet over high heat until browned, 5 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook 2 minutes. Add red pepper and bok choy stems; cook 3 minutes. Add peas and ginger; cook 1 minute. Add marinade, cornstarch mixture, bok choy greens, and tofu. Cook until heated through. Season with soy sauce as desired. Serve with limes.

 The finished product.
