QUICK & TASTY VEGGIE STIR FRY SAUCE (USES BRAGGS)



Quick & Tasty Veggie Stir Fry Sauce (Uses Braggs) image

This is just a little recipe off the side of a box of silken tofu (Mori-Nu). I didn't care for the entire recipe, which involved broiling the tofu...far too much effort to put the oven on when you're planning to stir fry. What I did like about the recipe was the sauce - quick and simple for those days when you don't have time to mess around with too many ingredients, but still don't want to open up a packaged sauce. You can thicken up the sauce if you choose, or add some heat if that's what you're going for. As this has honey I can't say it's vegan, however I think you could sub agave or some other sweetener quite nicely (brown rice syrup??). Let me know if you try that. The original recipe said it was enough for 4, but if I was making it for 4 adults I would probably double it which is why I said it serves 3. Enjoy!

Provided by magpie diner

Categories     Sauces

Time 5m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons Braggs liquid aminos (or sub your favourite light soy sauce)
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 -2 minced fresh garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Blend the ingredients together, and presto, you have sauce!
  • Stir fry as you normally would -- if the sauce is too runny for you, likely depending on the veg you put in or if you used some frozen veg -- stir together about 1 tbsp of arrowroot powder (or cornstarch etc) with a few tbsp of water in a little dish, then mix that into the pan. Sort of push your veg/tofu to one side of the pan and try to mix it in well with just the sauce so you don't disturb your veg too much. Once it has thickened a bit then coat all the veggies in it.

SESAME GINGER TOFU AND VEGGIE STIR FRY



Sesame Ginger Tofu and Veggie Stir Fry image

Flavorful tofu and veggie stir fry! The tofu is loaded with the sesame-ginger flavor and is crispy without deep frying. This stir fry is healthy and can be eaten with rice, quinoa or on its own.

Provided by Spencer 2

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 40m

Yield 4 cups, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

14 ounces extra firm tofu
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups chopped chopped green beans
1 cup sliced carrot
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons grated ginger or 1/2 tablespoon ginger powder
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Slice tofu into 3-4 horizontal slices. Drain well by placing between 2 cookie sheets lined with paper towels. Weight down the top cookie sheet with canned goods or a cast iron skillet to "press" the moisture out of the tofu. Keep changing the paper towels until no more moisture can be pressed from the tofu. This is the key to crispy tofu. Once dry, cut the tofu up into 1" cubes and toss with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to coat.
  • While drying the tofu, prepare the sauce. Combine sesame oil, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and water. Mix in blender or food processor until completely smooth. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat pan. Add the cubed tofu to the pan and fry for 3-5 minutes. Flip the tofu as needed to brown all sides. Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce to the tofu and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. When the tofu is carmelized, remove to plate and keep warm.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the veggies and toss to coat. Cook the veggies for 3-4 minutes or just to al dente. Add the sauce and let it thicken just slightly. Add the tofu and sesame seeds and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the tofu has soaked up all the flavors.
  • Serve warm with rice or quinoa or on its own. Eat right away as the tofu will lose its crispiness as it sits and cools.

Tips for Making the Best Veggie Stir-Fry:

  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables. This will ensure that your stir-fry is packed with flavor and nutrients.
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables at once, they will steam instead of stir-fry.
  • Use a hot pan and a little oil. This will help the vegetables brown and caramelize.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables in batches if necessary. This will prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Add a sauce or marinade to the stir-fry. This will add flavor and moisture.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately. This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and nutritious stir-fry on the table in no time. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give stir-fry a try. You won't be disappointed!
