Sweet And Sour Vegetables With Tofu Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan bring 2 cups of the water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice, reduce the heat, and simmer until the rice is tender and water is absorbed, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Remove excess water from the tofu, and then cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
• In a small bowl, whisk the pineapple juice, lemon juice, ketchup, maple syrup, tamari, sesame oil, arrowroot, and ginger together.
• In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, green beans, bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini and stir-fry until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the pineapple juice mixture, tofu and pineapple. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon the veggies and sauce over the brown rice and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the baby corn, snow peas, carrot and bell pepper and stir-fry for abut 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
• Add the scallions, bamboo shoots and tofu. Cook for 2 more minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together the sherry, vinegar, honey, soy sauce, vegetable stock and corn starch. Add to the hot pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the tofu and fry for 5 mins, turning regularly, until golden brown on all sides. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan over a high heat. Fry the onion, pepper and garlic for 5-6 mins, or until the veg begins to soften. Add the pineapple, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and 50ml water, and simmer for 1 min, or until slightly reduced. Stir the tofu back into the pan.
