The creamy, flavorful peanut sauce makes this tofu and vegetable stir fry a dish even omnivores will love. It's healthy, satisfying, and only takes about 30 minutes to make. A great weeknight dinner. —Elina

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • For the Stir Fry
  • 1 pound Extra firm tofu

  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Red or Yellow Thai curry paste
