For the sauce

  • Puree all the sauce ingredients together in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.

Tofu

  • Cook the rice according to package directions. 
  • Cut the tofu into slices and press with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Wait a few minutes and press again – there’s lotsa water in there!
  • Cut the tofu slices into small cubes.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shiny, add the tofu and about 1/4 cup of the stir fry sauce.
  • Pan-fry the tofu until golden brown. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel lined plates.

Veggies

  • Return the pan to the heat and add the asparagus with 1/4 cup stir fry sauce. When the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp, add the carrots and toss together. Arrange the veggies and tofu over the cooked rice, and cover with more sauce to taste. Sprinkle with the green onions.
