Method

Teriyaki tofu and vegetables

1.Press tofu between two plates for 30 minutes, to remove excess liquid. Cut into 2cm cubes.

2.Heat half peanut oil and sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan on high. Stir-fry tofu 2-3 minutes, until golden. Add half ginger and garlic. Stir-fry 3-4 minutes, until tofu is well browned. Remove from wok.

3.Heat remaining peanut oil in wok on high. Stir-fry eggplant and capsicum 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms, remaining ginger and garlic. Stir-fry 1-2 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.

4.Return tofu to wok with sauce. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes, to heat through. Serve on a bed of rice noodles topped with green onions.

Sauce

5.In a small jug, stir all ingredients together until sugar dissolves.

Other vegies of choice can be added in step 3. We used thinly sliced green onions, covered with iced water for a few minutes until they curl, as a garnish.
