Vegetable and Tofu Stir-Fry with Spices: A Stay-at-Home Parent’s Favorite Recipe

As a stay-at-home parent, I’m constantly on the lookout for nutritious and delicious meals that can be cooked quickly and easily. This vegetable and tofu stir-fry with spices is one of my go-to recipes for busy days. In addition to being healthy and delicious, it also offers a unique story about how I came to create it.

Like many parents, I have limited time to prepare meals. Time is especially scarce when you’re raising children and running a household. So, when I have some extra time in the kitchen, I like to get creative and experiment with flavors. One day, while rummaging through my pantry, I stumbled upon some spices that I had been meaning to use for ages: cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger and garlic powder.

Inspired by these spices, I decided to create a vegetable and tofu stir-fry dish. To make this dish healthier, I chose low-sodium soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce. To add texture to the dish, I added a few tablespoons of sesame oil. Finally, I went crazy with the spices and added generous amounts of each one. After everything was combined, the stir-fry was ready for consumption!

The result was nothing short of amazing. The vegetables were tender yet crunchy and the tofu had soaked up all the flavors from the spices. My family absolutely loved it! From then on out, this vegetable and tofu stir-fry has been a regular on our dinner table.
