Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 16 oz bag of frozen stir fry vegetables
- 1 package Trader Joe's Savory Baked Tofu
- Trader Joe's Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp peanut or coconut oil divided
- 1 cup white rice
- 1 cup water
- 1 hot pepper of choice finely chopped, optional
Instructions
- Cook 1 cup of rice using your favorite method, I prefer a rice cooker. It should be done by the time the vegetables are.
- Cut the tofu into small triangles.
- Put 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Gently add the tofu triangles to the hot oil and let warm up for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Add the additional teaspoon of oil to the pan, turn the heat up to medium high, and wait until it is warm again.
- Carefully add the frozen vegetables and stir to coat. Make sure they are in a single layer in the pan.
- Flip vegetables occasionally for the next 7-10 minutes as the vegetables begin to brown a bit. Add the hot pepper here if using.
- Lower the heat to medium and add tofu back to pan.
- Pour in 5 ounces of green curry simmer sauce, or more or less to taste, and gently use the spatula to coat the vegetables and tofu and heat through.
- Remove from heat and serve over the rice.
