This is one of our High Five recipes, made from five main ingredients or less. Simplify your life with more delicious High Five recipes.
This quick and easy Thai stir-fry takes advantage of the nearly universal appeal of savory peanut sauce and tastes much more complex than it is! Use extra-firm tofu and prepared sauce to get this healthy dinner on the table in minutes.
Ingredients
The High Five
- 1 cup short-grain brown rice, uncooked
- 10 ounces extra-firm tofu, rinsed and patted dry
- 2 cups chopped cabbage
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1/4 cup prepared Thai peanut sauce
Pantry and Kitchen Items
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
Preparation
- Cook the brown rice: Put 2 cups water in a small pot and place over high heat. When the water boils, add the brown rice and return to a boil. Cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- While the rice cooks, slice the tofu into small cubes. Heat a large saute pan or wok over high heat until hot, about 1 minute. Pour in the canola oil and swirl the pan to coat. Add the tofu and stir to coat with oil. Stir-fry the tofu until it is golden brown, about 4 minutes.
- Add the cabbage and peas to the pan and keep stirring, tossing and moving the vegetables until the cabbage is softened and the peas are crisp-tender. Add the peanut sauce and stir to coat.
- Serve stir-fry on top of a scoop of cooked brown rice.
Serving Suggestion
This easy stir-fry is flexible. Try adding carrots, mushrooms, green beans or peas in place of the snap peas or in addition to them. Substitute chicken for the tofu. If you like a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red chili flakes when sauteing the vegetables or serve with a Sriracha-style hot sauce at the table.
