Tofu (of Tempeh) Stir Fry

Serves 4

12 ounces firm tofu or tempeh, cubed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

½ cup onion, diced

1 cup asparagus spears, chopped

1 cup kale, rinsed and chopped

½ cup zucchini, chopped or grated

1 whole carrot, sliced

1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce

2 tablespoons water

other vegetables of choice

4 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)

*Note: If you are using tofu, first press out excess moisture by placing block of tofu on a plate with a clean dish towel or paper towels. Place an additional dish-towel or paper towel on top of the tofu and then a heavy book on top of that to press out the moisture.

Sauté tofu, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and onion about 4 minutes over medium high heat in nonstick skillet or wok. Add remaining ingredients and stir-fry about 10 minutes or until vegetables are cooked al dente. Serve with rice, quinoa, or buckwheat (soba) noodles.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
