Calories: 265kcal
Ingredients
- 1 medium head 16 oz. cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 4 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
- 14 ounce block firm tofu drained
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
- To serve: 2 green onions sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Cut floret pieces from the cauliflower stems and rinse well. Place in a food processor and pulse 3-5 times until cauliflower is chopped into rice sized pieces.
- In a large skillet heat the olive and sesame oils. Add the onion and red pepper and saute ~3 minutes until onion is tender and translucent.
- Stir in the garlic, broth, ginger, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar. Transfer the cauliflower to the pan and stir. Cover with lid and cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the lid and stir in the peas. Crumble the tofu into the pan and stir. Saute for 3-5 minutes or until liquid has cooked off, tofu is warmed, and cauliflower is tender.
- To serve, top with sliced green onion, sriracha sauce, and additional soy sauce (if desired).
Notes
- You don't have to press the tofu for this recipe which is also a time saver! I found that I like the texture of the firm tofu when it has been crumbled right out of the package. All you need to do is drain the liquid it is packaged in.
