Ginger Orange Tofu Stir Fry
Try this vegetarian spin on your favorite comfort take-out food for meatless Monday or when you’re out of dinner ideas!
You know how it is with tofu – you’re either a pro with the stuff, or you kinda look at it sideways and grimace as you head toward the meat counter. I admit, I used to be in the latter camp. Until several family members went vegetarian on me, and then I had no choice but to become a pro – or at least learn how to fake it.
I’ve since come to appreciate these gelatinous and nutritious masses as potential dinner bases that everyone in my family can enjoy. The beauty in tofu is that you can easily build it into a savory dish that’s easy on the digestion, good for the environment, and full of health benefits. And you can change it up every time with a different sauce – but I have a feeling you’ll get hooked on this one. Just speculating.
