Pinterest Success: Tofu Stir Fry

It's been quite a while since I've updated my Pinterest tab...which shows you how long it's been since I've tried a new recipe!  But things have finally slowed down/family health is better and I actually had time to cook a healthy meal...

Here's the pin:

I didn't get a chance to take lots of photos as I was setting up the tofu in the middle of playing with Leif, then getting him ready for bed...but in order to get the perfect tofu, it's kind of a long process.  First you have to dry it out, then you bake it, then you let it sit.  Even though total time was over an hour to prep the tofu, the stir fry part went quick.  And it was so worth it.

I wish veggies would come pre-cut and cheap.  I know you can buy cut up veggies, but you have to use them right away and they're uber expensive.  But I think cutting the veggies took longer than actually cooking them.  Aren't they pretty though?  This is so colorful!

Adding tofu and sauce

YUM

Finished product!

This was definitely a success-the tofu was firm, the sauce was extremely delicious-a little sweet, good spices.  It was amazing.

Here's where I deviated from the recipe:

1. It calls for fresh ginger, but I've realized over the years that hubs and I aren't huge fans of too much fresh ginger-so I used half a teaspoon of ground ginger.
2. I used three cloves of fresh garlic in the sauce (it doesn't call for ANY!!!)
3. I used a variety of veggies

This is probably my favorite tofu dish now, and think I'll be adding it to my weekly menu since it's so healthy!  YUM!
