15-MINUTE TOFU AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY
Tofu sometimes gets a reputation for being bland, but that's not the case in this quick stir-fry. We toss meaty baked tofu in a spicy Asian marinade with tons of bold flavor. Packaged stir-fry mix and pre-sliced shiitake mushrooms can easily be found in the produce section of most grocery stores, and make it possible for this healthy meal to come together in 15 minutes or less.

Tips:
- Choose firm or extra-firm tofu: This type of tofu holds its shape better during cooking and absorbs the flavors of the marinade or sauce better.
- Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu removes excess water, which helps it to absorb more of the marinade or sauce.
- Marinate the tofu: Marinating the tofu for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, infuses it with flavor.
- Use a nonstick skillet: This will help to prevent the tofu from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the tofu over medium-high heat: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Stir-fry the tofu until it is golden brown: This will ensure that it is cooked through.
- Serve the tofu immediately: Tofu is best served hot, so it is important to serve it immediately after cooking.
Conclusion:
This tofu stir-fry is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. This dish is also packed with flavor, thanks to the aromatic ginger, garlic, and soy sauce.
