Ginger-miso stir-fry

by Dieter

inspired by a recent visit to the Candle Cafe (NY)

1 block of firm tofu that is already seasoned (e.g. Taifun's bratfilets Japanische art, Rewe's tofu sesam mandel)

1 large bulb of broccoli

3 carrots

(other vegetables if you like)

A bit of salt

1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil

2 teaspoons of sunflower oil

5 cm of fresh ginger

1 teaspoon of chili flakes

1 teaspoon of miso

1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast

1 teaspoon of tamari

1 teaspoon of rice vinegar

Some starch (corn flour or tapioca)

• Put oil in pan on medium heat. 
• Add the finely cut garlic and ginger plus the chili flakes and let fry for a bit. 
• Add the cut broccoli and carrots. 
• After 2-3 mins add a cup of water, the miso, tamari, rice vinegar and nutritional yeast. Stir well so that the flavours mix and coat all the other ingredients. 
• Finally stir in the starch to thicken the sauce.
