I love food

I love food. I also love cooking. I also love simple, healthy cooking. That being said you understand the reason for my blog. I want to share with people that it doesn't have to be difficult to cook healthy. Experimenting with new foods really can be fun! So, on that note I will post my first recipe. I like to call it Julie's Tofu Asian Stir Fry although feel free to add any protein you enjoy.

Julie's Tofu Asian Stir Fry

Any veggies in the fridge (bok choy, celery, carrots, green beans, shallots, onion, garlic, mushrooms, spinach) etc, you know whatever is on hand
1 block extra firm tofu, chopped in small pieces
toasted sesame oil (this is key, don't scrimp and use olive oil)
mirin
tamari soy sauce
salt & pepper (or my favorite Gomasio)

In saute pan, warm up toasted sesame oil. Throw in onions, shallots or garlic, whatever you are using. Then toss in the tofu. After few minutes start adding veggies, add harder ones first that will take longer to cook. Throw in some mirin, and Tamari. Saute some more. Taste test, then add more. Add some salt & pepper or Gomasio.Voila!! You are ready to go. Enjoy. If its just you there might even be enough for lunch tomorrow which makes it even more fantastic. I love to cook once and eat two even three times.
