Stir-fry

  • 10 oz firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 small red onion chopped
  • 1 large carrot chopped into matchsticks
  • ¼ medium red cabbage chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the brown rice according to packaging instructions. This usually takes around 25 minutes.
  2. Combine the sauce ingredients (tamari, date syrup, almond butter and plant milk) in a bowl. Add the tofu and set aside for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or frying pan over a medium-high head. Add the tofu and cook for 5-6 minutes, until golden brown on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Add the onion and the garlic to the same frying pan and cook on a medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, until translucent. Then, add the carrots, cabbage and snow peas with around a quarter cup water, garlic powder, tamari and rice vinegar. Cook for a further 5 minutes, until the vegetables have softened. 
  5. At the last minute, stir in the cooked brown rice and the tofu. Serve immediately, or store in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
