    How to make the best General Tso's stir fry with tofu and vegetables - This quick and easy recipe uses House of Tsang General Tso's sauce and healthy pre-cut veggies to make a 30 minute weeknight meal.

    tofu stir fry over grains on a white platePin

    Yesterday, there was a 30-second segment on Sesame Street in which the characters talked about tofu.

    Tofu? Grace asked me. What's tofu?

    I explained that it's a food that I really like.

    Can we have tofu for supper tonight?

    I agreed, and I told Grace that we'd have to pick some up on our way home.

    Unfortunately, we stayed at our friend's house too long (oohing and aahing over some four-week-old puppies) and didn't even walk into the grocery store until after 5.

    I needed a quick and easy supper solution.

    Featuring tofu.

    I grabbed a bag of pre-cut broccoli, cauliflower, and baby carrots, a package of extra firm tofu, a bottle of House of Tsang's General Tsao's Stir Fry sauce, and a can of water chestnuts and left the store.

    When we arrived home twenty minutes later, I threw it together, and we had a really tasty stir fry supper. It was even better the next day as leftovers.

    If you don't like tofu, or aren't feeling adventurous, you could eat this without a protein or use small pieces of any meat - chicken, pork, beef, whatever.

    How to make General Tso's Stir Fry with Tofu and Veggies

    1. Heat olive oil in a wok or very large skillet over medium heat. Add tofu and 2 cloves of garlic, sliced or pressed. Cook until tofu is lightly browned and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
    2. Add broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, onions, remaining garlic, and pepper. Sautรฉ until crisp-tender.
    3. When veggies are almost done, add squash and water chestnuts.
    4. When squash has turned translucent, add stir fry sauce to your taste. Cook until heated through.
    5. Serve over rice.

      This is a great meal. It has a lot of my favorites in it. Cooking has changed a lot even, in the past decade. We never had anything this good, then. Thanks for linking this to My Meatless Mondays. I love having special recipes included.

      I'd never tried it before, but I picked up House of Tsang's General Tsao's sauce (not a typo, it was Tsao's), and we really really liked it.
