Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Makes: 4 cups
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces firm tofu
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 2 cups fresh, canned, or frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
Directions:
- Pat tofu dry, then use a fork to crumble into bite-size pieces.
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the other vegetables and cook until soft, for about 5 minutes.
- Use a spatula to move the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add the tofu, salt, turmeric (optional) and pepper. Sauté for a few minutes. Stir tofu and veggies together until they are well combined. Cook for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately, with tomato slices on the side.
Notes:
Tofu is made from soybeans, and often used in Asian and vegetarian cooking. It has a mild flavor and soaks up whatever sauce you cook it with.
