Healthy Veggie Stir Fry

If you are vegetarian and like asian cuisine, you won't want to miss out on this delicious dish. There are many vegetable stir fry recipes out there but few are as easy and healthy as this quick stir fry.

Directions

1. Drain tofu and cut into ½” cubes. Place tofu on a plate lined with a cloth/paper towel. Press additional cloth/paper towels on top to help absorb the moisture from the tofu. Let sit with towels for approx. 30 minutes.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce and chile garlic sauce. Set to the side.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick skillet on medium to high heat. Once it begins to simmer, add in the tofu and cook, turning occasionally until browned (approx. 7-10 minutes). Transfer to a plate.

4. Bring the skillet to high heat and add remaining tablespoon of oil. Stir in onion, garlic,and ginger and cook, stirring often until it becomes fragrant. Add in snap peas, snow peas, peas, Brussels sprouts, and mushrooms until veggies become bright green.

5. Add in the cooked tofu and hoisen mixture along with the Eatnuts.com Cashews. Cook and stir for about 1 minute.

6. Serve by itself or with a side dish like rice or quinoa.

The sweet and piquant sauce provides the perfect asian flavoring to the vegetables and tofu. You can make it as spicy as you like, although this runs more on the mild side. The texture of the various peas bring in a nice crunch to compliment the tenderness of the tofu and mushrooms. Although it doesn’t need to be served with rice, the addition of grains when serving help bring all the flavors together and leave the you feeling well satiated.
