Origin of Stir-Frying
It’s thought that the cooking method of stir-frying originated in China. Traditionally, stir-fries are cooked in a wok with a small amount of hot oil and continuously stirred. But since we don’t have a wok (and chances are you don’t either), we used a cast iron skillet for this recipe. You can take a deeper dive into the history of stir-frying here.
How to Make This Tofu Stir-Fry
To start, the tofu is briefly marinated to provide flavor, then cooked to perfection (option to crumble the tofu for extra speedy cooking!). Next, the veggies are sautéed until they’re tender but still have nice texture. We chose mushrooms, cabbage, and bell pepper this time, but the possibilities are endless! Then comes the cauliflower rice (well hello there, more veggies). Cauliflower rice is really the coolest. You can read our tutorial on How to Make Cauliflower Rice or, if you are looking for something even quicker, many stores now carry a grab-and-go version (check the produce and/or frozen section). Alternatively, you could also substitute some pre-cooked grains to save even more time. Lastly, add in the sauce and that’s really all it takes! Lunch or dinner on the table in about 20 minutes flat. We hope this stir-fry is everything you have ever dreamed of!
