Easy Weeknight Stir Fry [Vegan]

I love cooking, but sometimes I’m just not feeling a lot of effort after a long day. When this happens, I typically pull out staples: rice, tofu, and veggies. These items are so versatile and work with anything in your fridge. Just throw together a quick sauce and you have endless combinations for your meals.

This week I wanted to experiment with bok choy and decided to use it in my stir fry. I loved the crunch it brought to the dish and how it helped to break up the textures. I am certainly going to be incorporating it into more recipes moving forward! As an added bonus, it’s a truly beautiful vegetable and chock full of vitamins.

I love this recipe because you can really use whatever vegetables you have on hand, but the sauce is what makes it stand out. This is a slightly spicy, slightly sweet, totally delicious combo. It’s got the umami from the miso paste that takes it to the next level.

Instructions

1. In a large pan/wok, sauee garlic and onions with a water until translucent.
2. Begin cooking rice according to package instructions. I prefer quick cook rice because it’s…quick!
3. Add mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, shredded carrots, bok choy to the wok with 1/4 cup of water and cover. Steam on medium heat for 7 minutes.
4. In another pan, add cubed tofu and give it a quick spray of olive oil. Add spices evenly and sautee until edges are crispy, shaking the pan occasionally to ensure all sides are cooked. This takes about 10 minutes.
5. Make sauce by combining coconut aminos, miso paste, sriracha, maple syrup, and lime juice. I shook it up in a mason jar until it was uniform. Break up the miso paste with a fork if it is not dissolving.
6. Add everything together in the wok and toss. Satuee for a few more minutes to crisp up the glaze. 
7. Add salt and pepper to taste.
8. Enjoy!
