If you like Tofu, I think you will enjoy this recipe as it makes a healthy family dinner during the hot summer season when you don't want to use your oven. If you have a garden, its a great way to use up some of those fresh vegetables too.

Tofu Stir-Fry

2 cups uncooked white rice
2 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil
2 cups broccoli florets
1 lg. carrot, sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce
1 pkg. (10 ounce) firm tofu, drained and cubed

Cook rice according to package directions. While rice is cooking, heat oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add broccoli, carrot, bell pepper and onion; cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring often. Combine teriyaki sauce, orange juice, corn starch, garlic, ginger and hot pepper sauce in a medium-sized bowl, mixing well. Pour sauce mixture over veggies in the wok. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Add tofu to the wok, stir gently to coat with the sauce. Serve over rice.
