## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- One block of extra firm tofu
|
|
- Three eggs
|
|
- Vegetables per your choice, recommendations include:
|
|
- Sugar snap peas
|
|
- Chopped cabbage
|
|
- Sliced carrots
|
|
- Broccoli
|
|
- Cauliflower
|
|
- Soy or teriyaki sauce
|
|
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
|
|
- Coconut oil
|
|
|
|
## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. (Optional) Deep freeze tofu at least 24 hours prior and then thaw. The freezing will crystalize the water inside and make the tofu spongey, giving it a more chewy texture, and aids in flavor absorption.
|
|
2. Chop tofu into cubes or slabs per preference and carefully drain water.
|
|
3. Allow tofu to soak in sauce for a few minutes.
|
|
4. Pour cooking oil into a copper wok evenly to coat around the basin. Let it fill up about half an inch at the bottom.
|
|
5. Heat oil at medium and place tofu, sauce, and minced garlic into pan. Adding sauce and herbs early helps tofu absorb the flavors.
|
|
6. Shift and flip the tofu around, gradually turning up the heat as you go, until surface starts to turn brown.
|
|
7. Add in hard vegetables. If using cabbage, save that for last. Cook until veggies soften.
|
|
8. If non-vegan, scramble fry eggs in separate smaller pan until no longer runny, then add to stir fry.
|
|
9. Once eggs are firm/brown to liking, add cabbage. Cabbage softens fast, so saving it for last lets it retain some crunch.
|
|
10. Once cabbage softens, remove wok from heat. Serve on a plate with favorite sides.
