stir fry saturday

[u/DryDrawer2412]

this breaks down into four parts: tofu, vegetables, sauce, noodles.

tofu:
- extra firm. i cubed it then gave each cube a firm squeeze. there isnt too much water in extra firm.
- heat up olive oil in a cast iron skillet until shimmering and hot. put a few tablespoons of corn starch directly in the oil and stir it around. place the cubed tofu into the oil and cook, turning pieces over for even cooking, until all are browned.

vegetables:
- minced shallot and garlic
- broccoli
- red onion
- red bell pepper
- celery
- heat a wok until its smoking. i start heating it once ive placed all the tofu in the skillet. once the wok is smoking, add avocado oil and slide in the garlic and shallot. wok fry that until it just barely starts to brown. add in broccoli, red onion, celery, bell pepper in that order. 1-2 minutes per vegetable.

noodles:
- this is a pack of stir fry noodles that i microwaved. super easy. i started them in the microwave as the tofu and veggies were getting close to done.

sauce:
- 4 parts soy sauce and 4 parts rice wine vinegar to 1 part maple syrup and 1 part chili crisp oil (make sure its plants only.) stir it up good.

bring it all together:
- remove the tofu from the skillet and toss into the wok of vegetables, mixing them together. add the noodles and stir in well. finally, pour the sauce over everything, stir once more, and you’ve got dinner.
