Foodie Friday - Cashew Stir Fry



If you frequent this blog, you know I love Asian food and especially stir fries. Here is a nice one.

Main Ingredients

  • 10 oz or so of cubed firm tofu, patted dry
  • 1/2 c chopped red pepper
  • 1 celery stalk, sliced
  • 3 chopped carrots
  • 1/2 c chopped onion





Sauce

  • 3/4 tsp (hot) red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 c orange-mango juice
  • 3 tbs low-sodium soy sauce/tamari 
  • 2 tsp corn starch
  • 2/3 c cashews


Your choice of bedding: quinoa, mixed greens, brown rice, etc. 

Mix sauce in 2 cup measuring mug and set aside. 

Stir fry main ingredients on med-hi starting with the firmest and longest cooking item. In this recipe, use this order: carrots, celery, onion and red pepper. When the carrots get about half way done then add the next ingredient and so on. 

Once you add the tofu stir fry it for several minutes. Then, stir the sauce very well and pour over the food in the wok. Let simmer for several minutes, stirring frequently, until it slightly thickens and slightly browns. Remove the wok from the heat and spoon a serving over your bedding of choice: quinoa, mixed greens, brown rice, etc.
