Tofu chop suey

2 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Tofu
2 teaspoons Vegetable oil
¼ cup Chicken broth
¼ teaspoon Ground ginger
1 cup Sliced celery
1 small Onion, coarsely chopped
¼ Sweet red pepper, slivered
1½ cup Fresh bean sprouts, washed
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
Freshly ground pepper & salt

Directions

Tofu supplies the protein, and tastes similar to chicken breasts, in this quick-to-prepare colorful vegetarian main dish.

Drain tofu, cut into ¾ inch pieces. Place between layers of paper towel and weight down with a dinner plate. Let stand 10 minutes to compress and remove excess water.

Heat oil, 2 tbsp broth and ginger in a frypan. Add celery, onion and red pepper. Stir cook over medium heat 3 minutes. Add bean sprouts, continue stir-cooking 1 min.

Stir in remaining broth, soy sauce and tofu. Cook and stir gently over medium heat until vegetables are tender-crisp, and liquid is evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
