Roasted Tofu Stir Fry Recipe

Tofu seems to be one of those ingredients that polarizes people — and I think I know why. It's quite simple actually; it's a matter of how the tofu is prepared before it is cooked. Tofu acts like a blank canvas in both texture and flavor. Having worked at a Chinese restaurant for 10 years, I learned the secrets for transforming tofu into an incredible delight. The first trick is to cut the tofu into small cubes and then roast it — this is to give the tofu a crisped exterior so it's ready to soak in the flavors of the sauce it's cooked with. As those of us with a gluten intolerance and sensitivity know, eating Asian foods can be challenging. This recipe requires only one easy swap out — soy sauce — for a great quality wheat-free tamari. My favorite stir fry is made with a dark, spicy, well-balanced sauce with mushrooms and asparagus. Lucky for us, it is spring and asparagus is in season. Having all the ingredients prepared and ready to go makes this dish an easy and fast meal since it cooks so quickly.  Click here to see 10 Vegetarian Recipes.
