Spicy Tofu Stir-fry & Giveaway Winner!

I love healthy, delicious meals that can easily and quickly be made for dinner during the busy work week. One such go-to meal that I adore: Stir-fry.

The other night, Z and I had a lot of ingredients that were stir-fry-worthy, including mushrooms, peppers, onions, garlic, tofu and a slew of spices. The only thing I had to pick up at the store were carrots to add some  needed crunch to the mix.

Spicy Tofu Stir-fry

Yields: 3-4 servings

-1 block extra firm tofu, drained and cubed

-Half green pepper (I used 1/4 of a green and yellow pepper each), chopped

-Half yellow onion, diced

-5-6 mushrooms, sliced

-2 carrots, chopped

-1 clove garlic, minced

-Turmeric

-Coriander

-Cayenne

-Powdered ginger

-Cumin

-Salt and pepper

-Olive oil

Directions: 

1.) Cook tofu in a saucepan on medium heat with some olive oil and spices (coriander, cumin, powdered ginger, cayenne and turmeric). 

2.) In a separate saucepan, sautee the veggies with some more olive oil and salt and pepper. I cooked the onions first until they were mostly translucent, then added the carrots, peppers, mushrooms and garlic.

3.) Once cooked, pour the tofu mixture in with the veggies and mix well. 

We enjoyed our stir-fry with a random side: Half a whole wheat tortilla each. It was an odd choice, but a successful one - I love my carbs!

Now, without further ado, here's the winner of The Real Food Diet cookbook giveaway: Bianca! This is what "real food" means to her:

"I'll go the Michael Pollan route and say that real food is something that our great-grandmothers will still recognize! It's whole, preservative-free foods that keep us fueled, and also taste clean and simple."
