Ground Tofu Stir-Fry

Ground Tofu Stir-Fry

Ground Tofu Stir-Fry takes a spin on the Thai dish Pad Krapow Gai which is a spicy dish typically made with finely chopped or ground chicken, but in this case, we used extra firm tofu. This dish is delicious and easy to make to your liking, controlling the spice levels to your taste. You could also think outside the box and use this ground tofu stir-fry as a filling for other dishes such as tacos, dumplings, spring rolls, or serve it as a salad with cabbage or lettuce.

Ingredients

Serves: 4-5

Ground Tofu Stir-Fry

  • 1 block extra-firm tofu, drained & ground
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice (optional)
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp Thai chili flakes or cayenne pepper
  • 2 Tbs vegetable stir-fry sauce or soy sauce
  • 1 Tbs rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbs sesame oil
  • To serve: Cooked rice, cabbage, or lettuce wraps
  • Optional toppings: thinly sliced cucumber, sesame seeds, chopped basil, sriracha

Directions

  1. After draining the tofu’s liquid, crumble the tofu by hand or with a fork in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Add in a splash of the sesame oil, soy sauce, or stir-fry sauce, and a dash of each spice to the tofu and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare your vegetables for cooking, toppings, and your serving vessel be it rice or cabbage.
  4. Once everything is prepped, in a large skillet, set heat to high, and add the sesame oil.
  5. When the oil is hot, add the tofu. Stir it enough to spread out evenly in the pan but then allow it to sit undisturbed for 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom begins to crisp slightly.
  6. Then top with the onions and garlic and stir together well.
  7. Add in the remainder of the soy sauce or stir-fry sauce and seasonings.
  8. Then, add the remainder of the vegetables.
  9. Stir together well for about 5-7 minutes, vegetables should begin to soften.
  10. Add in the rice vinegar and stir the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
  11. Continue cooking for another 5-8 minutes until vegetables are tender and onions translucent.
  12. Remove from heat, top with toppings, serve over rice or cabbage and enjoy!

  8. Cook the veggies together for another 5 minutes or so, then add the rice vinegar to deglaze the pan, stirring the bottom of the pan rapidly as the vinegar evaporates.
  9. Set heat on vegetables to medium-low, stirring occasionally until fully tender and cooked.

Spring Poké Bowl

Spring Poké Bowl

Spring Poké Bowl is perfect as the hot weather approached! This dish is best served cold, so the majority of the work is preparation, but once it’s done, you’ve got some meals prepped for the week or have plenty to share with a group. Try mixing and matching with other vegetables such as broccoli, shaved brussels sprouts, or bok choy.

Ingredients

Serves: 4-5 Time: 1.5 hour

Spring Poké Bowl

  • 2 salad turnips, thinly sliced
  • 1 kohlrabi head, thinly julienned
  • 1 large carrot, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 beets, roasted, peeled & sliced
  • 1/2 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas or edamame, steamed
  • 1 cup rice, cooked
  • Optional protein: sautéd tempeh, steamed tofu, hard-boiled egg
  • Optional toppings: minced cilantro, chopped scallions, chopped roasted peanuts, sliced jalepeño, sriracha

Poké marinade

  • 2 Tbs rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbs sesame oil
  • 1 Tbs soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger or freshly minced ginger
  • 1 tsp garlic, or 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 lime, juiced

Miso-Mustard Dressing

  • 2 Tbs chinese mustard
  • 1 Tbs miso paste
  • 1/2 Tbs sesame oil
  • 1/2 Tbs rice vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Splash of water as needed to thin the dressing

Directions

  1. To prepare your beets, wash and trim off any stems. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  2. In a deep pan, add in the beets and then add in some water but not enough to fully cover the beets.
  3. Cover the pan in foil, then place in the oven and roast for about 45 minutes or until the beets have softened and the skin peels easily.
  4. Then, mix together the marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare your rice in the rice cooker or stovetop pot. Once the rice has cooked, place it in the refrigerator to cool or leave it at room temperature.
  6. Then, prepare your vegetables and protein. We used tempeh that was quickly sautéd in a bit of sesame oil and seasoned with soy sauce and black pepper. You may substitute this for steamed tofu, a hard-boiled egg, or whatever other protein of your choosing. Whichever that is, once it is cooked, set aside to fully cool.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the carrot, kohlrabi, and turnips. Add in about half of the marinade, toss well, and place in the refrigerator to set.
  8. Then, chop your cucumber and set it aside in the fridge.
  9. Once the edamame or peas have been steamed, return to the fridge to cool.
  10. Next, prepare your mustard dressing and set it aside.
  11. After some of that side prep, your beets should be done. Once done, remove from the oven, drain the water and allow to cool before peeling the skin.
  12. Once the beets are peeled, thinly slice them and toss in the rest of the marinade. Place in the refrigerator to cool.
  13. All of your poké bowl fixings should be cooling in the refrigerator at this point, at least for 30 minutes. When they are all complete and your toppings have been prepared, assemble your bowl with some rice, protein, veggies, and top with toppings and mustard dressing.
  14. Serve and enjoy!
