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.

Steps:
- Prepare the rice according to the package directions. Peel and finely grate the ginger and put it into a small baking dish or medium bowl along with the soy sauce, garlic chili sauce and sesame oil. Whisk to combine.
- Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cut the baked tofu into 1-inch-by-1/2-inch pieces and add to the marinade. Stir to combine and reserve. Fill a small measuring cup or bowl with cold water and keep by the stovetop.
- Add the canola oil to the hot pan and swirl to coat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook until tender and browned in spots, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add the stir-fry vegetable mix and a large pinch of salt. Cook until crisp tender, 3 to 5 minutes (the cooking time will depend on the size of the vegetables in the mix). If at any time the pan seems too hot, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add the marinated tofu to the vegetables along with 2 tablespoons water. Cook until the tofu is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer the stir-fry to a large platter. Scatter the cashews on top and serve alongside the rice.

Tips for Making the Best Tofu Stir-Fry
- Use extra firm tofu. This type of tofu holds its shape better during cooking and absorbs more of the marinade.
- Press the tofu before cooking. This helps to remove excess water, which makes the tofu crispier.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes. This helps to infuse the tofu with flavor.
- Use a high-quality stir-fry sauce. A good sauce will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Cook the tofu over high heat. This helps to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much tofu to the pan, it will not cook evenly.
- Serve the tofu stir-fry immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
