Ingredients
1 pkg extra firm organic tofu, cut into 1/4" cubes
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
2 c. chopped carrot
1 T. jalapeno pepper, minced
1 T. ginger root, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 head of iceberg lettuce
Directions
1. Mix jalapeno, ginger root, garlic, and olive oil.
2. Warm jalapeno mixture in a wok or frying pan as you would regular oil for frying.
3. Fry tofu until golden brown on most sides, it takes about 10 minutes.
4. Add bell pepper and carrot to pan, saute briefly.
5. Mix soy sauce and brown sugar, add all or desired amount to pan.
5. Once soy sauce mixture warms, serve on leaves of lettuce.
Comment: We are not big tofu fans or anything, especially my husband. But this meal is so tasty and the tofu is cut small enough that the texture doesn't bother us. Plus it is by far the healthiest meal we make. Each serving is only about 269 calories and VERY nutritious. The only thing that gets you is the brown sugar.
If you absolutely can't use tofu, we've had it with chicken and it tastes good too. Just costs more and doesn't give you as much nutritional value.
Welcome to our Recipe Swap!
If anyone would like to join this blog as a contributor, just let me know and I will add you as an author. The only thing we ask is that you share your recipes with us! We may start monthly themes later on down the line, if more people show an interest, but at this point, please feel free to post any recipe you like, whenever you like.
~If you have a photo of the dish, please post it along with the recipe, since it is always nicer to see a picture. Please post it at the medium size so we can keep all the pictures the same size.
~And please tag the recipes into one of the categories listed. As you decide on which category to put them in, think of how you would search for it in a cookbook. As administrator, I may occasionally go through the recipes and categories and edit them for easier searching as things go along, so don't feel offended if I change some things around.
~If you try a recipe, feel free to comment on the recipe and let us know what you thought!
~Finally, please write a little something about yourself. I will post everyones profile here, so that we can get to know those we may not be familiar with.
Thank you to those who have already jumped in and added recipes. I am excited to see what everyone is cooking!
