Stir-Fried Quinoa With Vegetables and Tofu

I’ve substituted cooked quinoa here for rice. You can use either regular or royal red quinoa for this dish. As with all stir-fries, once all the ingredients for this one are prepped, the cooking takes less than five minutes.

Stir-Fried Tofu With Cabbage, Carrots and Red Peppers

This is a beautiful stir-fry using vegetables that are easy to keep on hand, as they all stay fresh for more than a week in the refrigerator.

Spicy Stir-Fried Tofu With Corn, Green Beans and Cilantro

Few dishes are as simple as the stir-fry, which just requires some chopping, a few seasonings and a blistering hot pan. This sweet and spicy stir-fry is a light meatless meal, loaded with fresh green beans, corn and tofu. Ginger, garlic and jalapeño provide a little heat.

Sprouted Brown Rice Bowl With Carrot and Hijiki

Sprouting any grain increases its nutritional value by making its nutrients more bio-available, among them calcium. But it’s the flavor and texture of this new sprout that have gotten me hooked. If you’ve been hard pressed to get your family to embrace brown rice, this may be the way to go. Julienne carrots with hijiki seaweed is a traditional Japanese combination. Here I’ve added some tofu to bulk up the protein. Hijiki is an excellent source of iodine, vitamin K, folate and magnesium; the seaweed is soaked and simmered before cooking with the carrot and aromatics.

Stir-Fried Tofu With Red Chard

Most of the time that you devote to a stir-fry goes into chopping and measuring out ingredients. Sometimes the list looks long to me, and I fear the dish is going to take forever to make. But while I may spend 30 minutes prepping everything, I’ll spend only five minutes at the stove. For things to go well, it’s important that the mise en place be organized. If liquids are to be added to a dish at the same time, combine them in one bowl or measuring cup. If the garlic and ginger are to be added together, have them minced and combined in a small container. Clean your work area before you start cooking, and have everything close to the stove. Once you begin to stir-fry, you won’t be able to do anything except grab the next ingredient. Read the recipe carefully from beginning to end, have the table set, your rice or noodles cooked and plates ready. I love the pink color that tofu takes on when cooked with red chard. Beet greens would also do the trick. In this recipe, blanching the greens is part of the prep.
