Curry Stir Fry with Veggies, Chicken, and Baked Tofu
Ingredients:
- ½ pound extra-firm tofu, pressed and sliced
- 1 chicken breast (a smallish one if possible)
- Curry Marinade (see below)
- ¼ cup onion, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- ½ cup broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 small or 1 large carrot, sliced thin
- 1 cup bok choy, chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- To serve: Sriracha, quinoa/rice
Curry Marinade:
- ¾ cup vegetable/chicken broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp minced garlic
Directions:
- Mix marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour ¼ cup marinade over the chicken in a resalable bag. Place remaining marinade over the tofu and leave in fridge for 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make rice or quinoa and let cook while the you are stir-frying.
- Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil. Remove tofu from marinade and pour the leftover marinade into a measuring cup. Add another ¼ to 1/3 cup broth as well as the cornstarch. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Spread tofu slices on pan and cook for about 22 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While tofu is baking, heat wok or pan over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray or oil.
- Remove chicken from marinade and cut into 1-inch pieces. Brown chicken until almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from wok and set aside.
- Lower heat to medium. Add garlic and onions; cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add broccoli, carrots, bok choy stems, and bok choy leaves (in that order). Stir fry about 1 minute before adding the next vegetable. If needed, add about ¼ cup broth to the pan to keep vegetables from burning.
- Continue stir frying until vegetables are almost done or until the tofu is ready to come out of the oven.
- Add tofu and chicken to pan. Pour marinade/sauce mixture into wok and heat to boiling. Stir in cilantro.
- Stir mixture (carefully) until sauce is thickened and everything is incorporated well.
- Serve as desired. Makes 2-3 servings.
