CASHEW VEGGIE STIR FRY WITH CHICKEN OR TOFU

Steps:

• Press your tofu. Set a layer of 5-6 paper towels on a plate. Add tofu and top with more paper towels. Place three or four more plates on top and let sit for 20-30 minutes. This will press the excess water out of the tofu. But watch your plates! You don't want them to topple and break (some use books to avoid this but I'm a plate girl myself).
• Cook the rice according to package directions. You'll want to start the rice first because it may take the longest to cook.
• Prep (IMPORTANT!) Cut all of your veggies ahead of time! This is key with stir fries, which cook superfast once you get them going. And it's especially important with this recipe because you'll have two pans going at once.
• Make the sauce. To a small bowl, add the tamari or soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, chili-garlic sauce, and ginger. Mix until combined. Set aside.
• Coat the tofu/chicken. Add the tofu to one gallon-size ziplock bag and the chicken to another. Add the 2 tablespoons corn starch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to each bag. Seal and gently shake each bag to coat all of the pieces of tofu/meat with cornstarch.
• Cook the tofu and chicken. You'll want to start the tofu about 3 minutes before you start the chicken because the tofu takes a bit longer to cook. Set a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan. When the oil is hot, add the tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally. After 3 minutes, set another large non-stick skillet on another burner over medium-high heat. Add the remaining oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken. Cook both the tofu and chicken, stirring/flipping occasionally, about 4-5 more minutes, until the tofu is browned and the chicken is just about cooked through. (I use a designated spoon for each one so there's no cross-contamination).
• Add the veggies. Divide the the broccoli, bell peppers, edamame, and garlic between the two pans. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are getting tender.
• Add the cashews, sauce, and scallions. Divide the cashews between the pans and cook, stirring occasionally, for another minute. Lower the heat to medium-low and divide the sauce between the two pans. Stir to combine, then let simmer for about 2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and reduced slightly. Stir in the scallions, then remove from heat and ...
• Serve. Scoop rice onto individual plates, scoop stir fry over rice, and eat!
• Leftover instructions: Stir fry keeps for about 3 days. Store refrigerated in an airtight container.

SESAME GINGER TOFU AND VEGGIE STIR FRY

Steps:

• Slice tofu into 3-4 horizontal slices. Drain well by placing between 2 cookie sheets lined with paper towels. Weight down the top cookie sheet with canned goods or a cast iron skillet to "press" the moisture out of the tofu. Keep changing the paper towels until no more moisture can be pressed from the tofu. This is the key to crispy tofu. Once dry, cut the tofu up into 1" cubes and toss with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to coat.
• While drying the tofu, prepare the sauce. Combine sesame oil, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and water. Mix in blender or food processor until completely smooth. Set aside.

Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce to the tofu and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. When the tofu is carmelized, remove to plate and keep warm.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the veggies and toss to coat. Cook the veggies for 3-4 minutes or just to al dente. Add the sauce and let it thicken just slightly. Add the tofu and sesame seeds and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the tofu has soaked up all the flavors.
• Serve warm with rice or quinoa or on its own. Eat right away as the tofu will lose its crispiness as it sits and cools.

Sort of push your veg/tofu to one side of the pan and try to mix it in well with just the sauce so you don't disturb your veg too much. Once it has thickened a bit then coat all the veggies in it.
