On busy days, elaborate meals can sound like a nightmare, fast food can turn unhealthy, and repeating a dish can sound boring. That’s where this tofu stir fry with rice recipe comes into the picture. Not only is this easy enough for novice cooks to master, but it is also a quick-fix meal. In fact, if you have leftover rice, the cook time comes down to just 30 minutes. While the recipe relies mostly on kitchen staples, be sure to only use extra-firm tofu and not silken or firm. Extra-firm tofu has the least amount of liquid and crisps up beautifully in a stir-fry. A silken or soft tofu, or even a firm one, retains more liquid and has a soft, custardy texture. This is better for desserts, but not stir-fries. This tofu stir-fry recipe can also be paired with brown rice, quinoa, or even noodles.
