Steps:
- Cook the rice as the label directs. Set aside and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, cut the tofu into 24 pieces and gently press between paper towels to remove the excess liquid; set aside 5 minutes to drain. Put the green beans in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Cover and microwave until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then drain. Combine the Sriracha, soy sauce, sugar, fish sauce and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; stir to combine.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and slightly crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a plate. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the skillet over high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the green beans and cook, stirring once or twice, until lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Return the tofu to the skillet along with the Sriracha mixture and cook, stirring, until well coated, about 30 more seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the torn basil.
- Divide the rice among plates and top with the stir-fry. Top with the peanuts, a few small basil leaves and more Sriracha.
SPICY TOFU STIR FRY
The title says it all, I think. I like the peppery-ness of the napa cabbage with the sweet peppers. Feel free to add the veggies you like (sometimes I use eggplant). Just make sure you don't cook the veggies until they're mushy. You want them to still be firm, but not raw.

Steps:
- Cube tofu into approximately 1 by 2 inch pieces.
- Set on top of paper towels and press (not too hard, you don't want to mash the tofu) on the top with more paper towels to rid the tofu of excess moisture.
- Mix: chili garlic sauce, minced garlic, 1 T sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, rice wine, ginger, and chicken/veg stock.
- Add tofu into chili sauce mixture. Make sure all pieces are in contact with the liquid. Let soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Put frying pan over med-high heat. Once pan has heated, add 1 T sesame oil.
- Put marinated tofu in pan, brown all sides.
- Remove tofu and set aside.
- Add cornstarch slurry to remaining marinade, mix. (Add a few more tablespoons of soy sauce or rice wine or vinegar if necessary--you want this to be enough to eventually coat the vegetables as a light sauce).
- Put mushrooms and peppers into frying pan. Stir constantly over high heat for 2 minutes.
- Add green onion and napa cabbage. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour leftover marinade over vegetables, stir. Add browned tofu and chopped cilantro. When heated through, remove from heat.

15-MINUTE TOFU AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY
Tofu sometimes gets a reputation for being bland, but that's not the case in this quick stir-fry. We toss meaty baked tofu in a spicy Asian marinade with tons of bold flavor. Packaged stir-fry mix and pre-sliced shiitake mushrooms can easily be found in the produce section of most grocery stores, and make it possible for this healthy meal to come together in 15 minutes or less.

Steps:
- Prepare the rice according to the package directions. Peel and finely grate the ginger and put it into a small baking dish or medium bowl along with the soy sauce, garlic chili sauce and sesame oil. Whisk to combine.
- Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cut the baked tofu into 1-inch-by-1/2-inch pieces and add to the marinade. Stir to combine and reserve. Fill a small measuring cup or bowl with cold water and keep by the stovetop.
- Add the canola oil to the hot pan and swirl to coat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook until tender and browned in spots, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add the stir-fry vegetable mix and a large pinch of salt. Cook until crisp tender, 3 to 5 minutes (the cooking time will depend on the size of the vegetables in the mix). If at any time the pan seems too hot, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add the marinated tofu to the vegetables along with 2 tablespoons water. Cook until the tofu is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer the stir-fry to a large platter. Scatter the cashews on top and serve alongside the rice.
Tips:
- Use extra firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape and not crumble when stir-frying.
- Press the tofu before cooking. This will remove excess water and help the tofu absorb the marinade.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes. This will help the tofu absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more flavorful.
- Use a large skillet or wok for stir-frying. This will give the vegetables and tofu plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Stir-fry the vegetables and tofu over high heat. This will help them cook quickly and retain their crispness.
- Add the sauce to the stir-fry at the end of cooking. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately over rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
This spicy tofu and vegetable stir-fry is a quick and easy meal that is packed with flavor. The tofu is marinated in a flavorful sauce and then stir-fried with a variety of vegetables. The resulting dish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
