Flexitarian Food

Interested in eating more vegetables? Start with stir fries. You can throw in whatever you have on hand as well as customizing the protein. Here, I use tofu, but tempeh or meat would be great, too.

Ingredients

• Fresh Chinese noodles
• Vegetable oil
• 1/2 block extra-firm tofu (7 oz), sliced into 1-inch pieces
• 1 carrot, sliced at an angle
• 1 zucchini, cut into chunks
• 1 bunch bok choy, roughly chopped
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 celery stalk, chopped
• 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger or jarred ginger
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons asian hot sauce

Instructions

1. Deep fry or shallow fry tofu until crispy on the outside.
2. Boil noodles just until al dente. Drain.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in wok until very hot.
4. Cook each kind of vegetable separately, removing when cooked but crispy. Add more oil as needed.
5. Lower heat and prepare sauce by adding garlic and ginger to wok, cooking for 1 minute. Add soy sauce and hot sauce.
6. Add noodles, vegetables, and tofu to sauce. Stir and cook until noodles absorb some of the sauce and everything has combined.
