Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir in garlic and cook for a few seconds until it begins to brown. Add the bell pepper and broccoli; cook until the pepper begins to brown and soften, about 5 minutes.

Stir together the chicken broth, soy sauce, sherry, and cornstarch until dissolved. Pour the sauce into the wok and bring to a boil. Stir in the tofu, and cook until hot, about 1 minute. Garnish with cashew pieces to serve.

Answer 2

Tofu Stir Fry

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 package extra firm tofu

    16 1/2 ounces of rice

    1 green pepper

    1 red pepper

    2 cups broccoli

    1/2 cup celery

    2 cups pea pods

    2 cups any other vegetable (corn, green beans, etc)

    2 tablespoon olive oil (or other vegetable oil)

    soy sauce or other sauce to taste

Directions:

Wrap the Tofu in a paper towel or cheese cloth and let sit for about 1 hour (this will drain most of the water).  You don't have to do this.  I've used the tofu without straining it at all, just squeezing it a little before cooking works also.

Chop tofu into 1/2 inch cubes, roughly.  Heat a frying pan with oil.  Toss tofu in.  Fry tofu until mostly browned.  Then toss in the veggies.  Flavor with soy sauce to taste.  Cook for about 10-15 minutes.

At the beginning as the tofu is cooking start the rice.  I have a rice cooker so I use that.  If you don't have one just follow the instructions on the rice package.  When the rice is done cooking, serve.

Serves: 6-8, Preparation time: 1:30 hrs

Answer 3

Fast and Easy Tofu Lo-Mein ---

INGREDIENTS

1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 (3 ounce) packages Oriental flavored ramen noodles

1 (16 ounce) package frozen stir-fry vegetables

1 1/2 cups water

1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste



DIRECTIONS

Press tofu between paper towels to remove some of the water; cut in to bite size cubes. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu, and fry until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Meanwhile bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add noodles from ramen packages, reserving the seasoning envelopes. Boil for about 2 minutes, just until the noodles break apart. Drain.

Add the stir-fry vegetables to the pan with the tofu, and season with the ramen noodle seasoning packet. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Add noodles, and stir to blend. Season with soy sauce to taste and serve.
