Easy tofu vegetable stir fry recipe. Also, spicy tofu vegetable stir fry option. The best tofu vegetable stir fry recipe options I’ve found.
Spices for stir fry
- a small red onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- a tablespoon of grated ginger
- teaspoon of turmeric
- salt and pepper to taste,
- olive oil for stir fry
- Cayenne pepper or chili flakes
- Sesame oil… few dashes
More spices for stir fry sauce
- a tablespoon of mirin and tamari (soy)
- Sesame oil sprinkle
Be careful with the brand of mirin that you buy, as it can contain corn syrup

By the way, I’m big on using Australian made organic olive oil. You can see it on the top right of the picture. It’s expensive, but I think worthwhile… especially if you read up on the scandals with olive oil in some other countries.

- Start by cooking the quinoa.
- Cook it just as if it were white rice.
- So, put it in a saucepan and cover with water to the depth of a finger laid across the top of quinoa in the saucepan
- Then, bring it to the boil & then turn down to a very low simmer
- Takes about 15 minutes
- It’s done when it fluffs up and dries out so it not wet and watery.

Cooked quinoa to the point where it fluffs up, but is soft, and a bit crunchy (but not hard in any way).
