Carlos' Tofu Stir Fry

Okay, this is my first attempt at making asian food, on the fly.  I was at Whole Foods market last Saturday after a great  60 mi ride and was famished.  This little lady behind an electric skillet was cooking "Tofu Steak" tofu.  I sampled the cajun tofu and fell in love with its spicy flavor and firm texture.  She strictly instructed me to brown the tofu first in a skillet and then add the soy and teriyaki sauce.  However, when I cooked this dish I sweated the carrots and celery first, and then added the tofu.  Needless to say, the tofu never browned and somewhat crumbled, but still tasty. When making this, I would brown the cut tofu first until somewhat crusty, remove from pan, cook the veggies and return tofu back to pan.

Ingredients:

2 carrots, julienned

1 celery

2 slices of ginger, cut into quarter inch strips

3 garlic cloves minced

hand full of snow peas

Tofu Steak - cajun

soy sauce

teriyaki sauce

cooked asian noodles

Preparation:

Start by cooking cut tofu in non-stick skillet until edges are browned and firm. Remove from pan.  Saute carrot & celery in canola oil for 3-4 minutes.  Dash with soy sauce. Add garlic, ginger and saute for 2-3 minutes more.  Add the snow peas and tofu. Add the teriyaki sauce to your liking and serve with noodles (pre-tossed with teriyaki sauce).  Enjoy.
