Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 12 oz extra-firm tofu, cubed organic and non-GMO
  • 2 tbsp potato starch
  • 12 oz shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 lbs baby bok choy sliced lengthwise
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp Bragg's Liquid Aminos or tamari
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Fry Tofu

  • Heat avocado oil in a cast-iron wok over medium-high heat.
  • While the oil is warming, toss the cubed tofu with the potato starch and a little salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Once the oil is glistening, add the tofu to the wok and fry, stirring frequently, until golden-brown. Remove from the wok and place in a bowl.

Stir-Fry Veggies

  • While the tofu is frying, you can prep your herbs and veggies.
  • Add the shiitake mushrooms to the wok after removing the tofu and sauté until tender.
  • Add minced garlic to the wok and stir-fry for half a minute before adding the baby bok choy.
  • Stir-fry for another 5 minutes until the baby bok choy is wilted but still a bit crisp.

Combine

  • Toss the fried tofu back into the wok and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

  • Serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Potato Starch: use cornstarch if potato starch isn't available.
  • Tofu: extra-firm tofu provides the best texture, but firm tofu can also be used.
  • Bok choy: regular bok choy can be used in place of baby bok choy--simply chop in bit-sized pieces.
  • Storage: refrigerate for up to 4 days and reheat in a wok.  Freezing is not recommended.
