Stir Fry Tofu

Last week I made stir fry tofu. This is one of my favorite meals, because besides being fast and frugal, it freezes well together. I cook this one time, and feed the family 4 times. Can't beat that!

Yes, I know this is not "authentic" stir fry. It is fast, and frugal, and all my kids eat it. Bonus, grownups like it too :)

Begin with your tofu. Cut into small cubes and place in a pan with some oil. Sautee them for a few minutes, turning so all the sides get crispy. When almost done, add soy sauce and garlic powder (I use quite a bit, but do it by taste). Mix for another minute or so so all the flavors get blended. From 1 kilo of tofu, I did 3 pans this size.

Next take your bag of mixed veggies. I use the carrots, corn, green beans mixture (this bag was 800g). Take it out in the morning and let it defrost on the counter. When it is defrosted, dump in a pan and heat gently (you can use a little oil). Splash on some soy sauce and garlic powder and voila, your veggies are done.

Finally, add your cooked rice (I used 2 cups of raw rice for this amount of tofu and veggies). I served myself (twice!) and 6 kids, and I have two big portions to put in the freezer to reheat and serve, and 2 smaller portions to reheat and serve. I can serve 6-8 kids and myself on the bigger portions, and myself plus my kids with the smaller ones. Not bad for 15 minutes worth of work standing and stirfrying.
