Well, I've finally returned from my holiday hiatus from blogging. A major roadtrip, some quality family time, and a snowstorm later, I am refreshed and ready for 2011, armed with my holiday loot for the kitchen.
It's ON!
In other news, I came back from my trip to find, of course, fairly slim pickin's in the fridge. I did, however, remember that I had this little fellow in the cupboard.
I googled this "satay" business and found that this sauce is traditionally used on cubed, grilled meat, but it sounded good for a stir-fry to me.
Here's what I used:
Satay peanut sauce
Extra firm tofu, cubed
Frozen stir-fry vegetables (mine had carrots, broccoli, water chestnuts, and sugar snap peas)
Vegetable oil
Brown rice
Heat the vegetables in the microwave until thawed. Cook the tofu in the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until golden. Add the vegetables. Stir in desired amount of satay sauce and cook for a few minutes longer so the tofu absorbs the sauce. (Another option is to marinate the tofu in the sauce beforehand... I just didn't plan ahead enough for that step). Serve over rice.
