Imagine my shock when Nick said he not only wanted to eat more healthfully but also that he was willing to eat TOFU! Yes!! After much chopping I had all my ingredients for stir fry: red peppers, green peppers, carrots, broccoli, onions, tofu, garlic, ginger, and for the last step bean sprouts and green onions:
I then attempted to make a sweet and sour sauce. While it didn't turn out all the way I thought it would, it was still good. I mixed a little chicken stock, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, Chinese hot sauce, apricot jam (I know it sounds weird, but that's the sweet part), and a little cornstarch. Stir fries come together so fast I didn't have time to take any pictures. I heated the oil and added the garlic and ginger for less than a minute before adding the onions. Once they had cooked for a minute, I added the tofu, then the rest of the veggies. Once they had heated up, I threw in the sauce and boiled it for a minute then added the sprouts and green onions. It was yummy!
