Teriyaki Stir-Fry with Tofu



In my newly vegetarian state (well, mostly. Sushi is my exception), I have turned to tofu.

It frustrates me. And in truth, I don't think I'll ever really enjoy it.

But it tastes just fine in teriyaki sauce. As does everything.



Teriyaki Stir-Fry with Tofu:

1 cup fresh green beans, cut
1 cup bean sprouts, washed well
½ cup mushrooms, sliced
7 oz extra firm tofu, drained and cubed (half of a regular block)
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce (I used Veri Veri Teriyaki. You may need to use more or less depending on the brand)

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add green beans, cooking for about 1 minute; add bean sprouts and mushrooms. Cook for about 4 minutes, mixing occasionally. Add tofu; heat through. Add teriyaki sauce; mix well and turn off heat. Serve over top of rice.

Serves 2-3

And yes, I promise to start updating regularly again.
