Ingredients
4 cups frozen cooked brown rice
1-inch piece ginger
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons garlic chili sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
12 ounces baked tofu
3 tablespoons canola oil
One 3.5-ounce package sliced shiitake mushrooms (about 2 cups)
One 1-pound package fresh stir-fry vegetable mix (not frozen)
Kosher salt
1/2 cup roasted and salted cashew halves and pieces
Directions
- Prepare the rice according to the package directions. Peel and finely grate the ginger and put it into a small baking dish or medium bowl along with the soy sauce, garlic chili sauce and sesame oil. Whisk to combine.
- Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cut the baked tofu into 1-inch-by-1/2-inch pieces and add to the marinade. Stir to combine and reserve. Fill a small measuring cup or bowl with cold water and keep by the stovetop.
- Add the canola oil to the hot pan and swirl to coat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook until tender and browned in spots, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add the stir-fry vegetable mix and a large pinch of salt. Cook until crisp tender, 3 to 5 minutes (the cooking time will depend on the size of the vegetables in the mix). If at any time the pan seems too hot, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add the marinated tofu to the vegetables along with 2 tablespoons water. Cook until the tofu is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer the stir-fry to a large platter. Scatter the cashews on top and serve alongside the rice.
