Tofu and Stir Frys

Spicy Eggplant and Tofu Stir-fry

We were visiting a friend of Karen’s the other day, and guess what? – Discussing healthy eating!
The usual comment – that it is difficult to know how to eat healthily, particularly when you come home from work and need to knock up a
meal.

So yes – you resort to what you know and take something out the freezer and stick it in the microwave.

Chances are it will be high in white refined ingrediants, and not particularly healthy!
So – What to do??

Tofu, Butternut and Red Cabbage Stir-fry

Stir frys are relatively quick meals to put together, and with just a bit of planning you can have enough of the right ingredients at hand in the refrigerator.

With a few basics, some frozen or fresh vegetables and some tofu you can easily make a quick and tasty stir fry.

Two such easy meals are shown in the pictures:

and a tofu, butternut and red cabbage stirfry.

Both these were adapted from recipes from these books, available from Amazon. We have used numerous recipes from them and can really recommend them:
