INGREDIENTS
300g Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils (approx. 100g)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 medium Carrot
1 small Yellow Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
30g Cashews
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a bowl, gently toss the tofu cubes with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of half the olive oil to coat. Set aside to marinate briefly.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Carefully add the tofu cubes and fry until all sides are golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic, ginger, and diced yellow onion. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften but retain their crunch.
Stir in the cooked lentils and soy sauce, mixing well to coat all ingredients.
Gently fold in the crispy tofu and sprinkle the cashews over the stir-fry. Cook together for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed vegetarian dinner.
