Ingredients
- 1 Extra firm smoked tofu ((8oz/225g) chopped into cubes)
- ΒΌ cup organic soy(a) sauce or coconut aminos ((60ml))
- 1 tbsp all purpose seasoning ((15g) see notes for the link)
- 1 tsp parsley ((5g))
- 1 tsp garlic granules ((5g))
- 2 tbsp maple syrup ((30g) agave nectar or coconut nectar)
- 3 tbsp warm water ((45g))
- 1Β½ tsp tapioca starch ((7.4g) can use arrow root or potato starch)
- 1Β½ tsp sesame seed oil ((7.4g))
- Β½ tsp ground ginger ((2.5g))
- Β½ tsp chilli powder ((2.5g))
- 1 lb Mixed stir fry vegetables ((550g) I used a frozen pack)
- 1 zucchini/courgette (large, spiralised )
Method
- Place the ingredients that are listed for the marinated tofu in a small bowl and whisk together.
- Place the tofu cubes in a deep baking dish and slowly pour all of the marinade over the tofu.
- Tilt the dish to the side and baste the tofu cubes a few times before setting it aside for a few hours or overnight for more depth in flavour (I highly recommend overnight).
- Add the coconut oil to a deep skillet/wok/frying pan( use a good non stick pan, very important) on medium heat.
- Remove the tofu cubes from the marinade (reserve the marinade, don't throw it away), add them to the pan and brown both sides.
- Meanwhile pour the marinade into a small saucepan, on low heat and stir until it starts to thicken slightly (it should take a few minutes) then set aside.
- Once the tofu is browned remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the vegetables (you should still have some excess oil left in the pan, if not add melt 1 tbsp more) and proceed to stir fry until the veggies become tender/crisp (this will take several minutes).
- Start to drizzle half of the marinate/sauce over the vegetables and stir.
- Fold the zoodles (zucchini/courgette noodles) into the other vegetables and add the rest of the marinate/sauce.
- Finally add the tofu cubes to the pan then carefully fold into the stir fried vegetables.
