Thanks to a seasoned packaged of tofu, this easy stir-fry comes together in a snap. This dish is delicious served alone, but for heartier fare serve it on top of rice noodles. Ingredients:
1 (16-ounce) package spicy tofu, drained |
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
2 large garlic cloves, pressed |
1 large zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into thin slices |
1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper |
lemon wedges (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place tofu on several layers of heavy-duty paper towels. Cover tofu with additional paper towels; gently press out moisture. Cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.
2. Combine 1 tablespoon oil and next 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu, zucchini, and bell pepper; stir-fry 8 to 10 minutes or until tofu is browned and vegetables are crisp-tender. Add oil mixture; cook 1 minute, stirring gently. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
4. Make-it-faster
5. Reduce meal prep time by using jarred, prepeeled garlic cloves instead of peeling them yourself. Look for them in the refrigerated produce section at your supermarket.
