Purple Stir-Fry✨
Hey hey hey!!!
Meal for my purple lovers and or stir fry baddies!!✨
So today we got a recipe for a yummy meal I grew up eating, that I have adjusted to what I had in the pantry!
I always start with the tofu! this is the base line I use for all the tofu recipes I post plus or minus different seasonings. I start by drying the tofu and chopping into cubes. (Whatever size you prefer). Add the tofu to a bowl and start with the seasonings, I always season with my heart so I don’t have measurements for them. Add seasonings, sprinkle in some cornstarch and shake! I then add it to a lightly oiled pan, and cook until desired crisp and put it to the side.
To get the purple color you’ll definitely want to use the purple cabbage but then add any veggies you got in the fridge that need to be used! Be resourceful lovelies! Wash and chop, then start adding them to the pan based on length of cook time. I add only half of my ginger,garlic and jalape ños to the veg mix while saving the other half for the sauce. Let your veggies cook about 3/4 of the way before adding in sauce mixture, add in the tofu after sauce has started to reduce, lower the heat and let it combine then serve over some rice!!
Sauce mixture that I used for this is soy, honey, garlic, ginger, jalapeño, water cornstarch! It was sweet spicy and savory!!😋
Super easy and simple just wanted to share the steps! I hope you guys recreate your own versions and enjoy😆🫶
Purple stir-fries are not just visually stunning; they also offer numerous health benefits. Purple vegetables, such as cabbage, are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that promote overall wellness. Incorporating a variety of vegetables enhances the nutritional value of your meals while adding unique flavors and textures. To create a balanced stir-fry, consider using a mix of seasonal vegetables available in your pantry. Experimenting with different ingredients allows you to customize your dish according to your taste preferences or dietary needs. For instance, adding bell peppers can introduce a sweet crunch, whereas snap peas provide a fresh snap. Don't forget the importance of seasoning. While soy sauce and honey create a beautiful balance of sweet and savory flavors, feel free to adjust them to suit your palate. Adding spice from jalapeños or different herbs can elevate your dish further. When cooking, remember the importance of timing. Cooking your veggies just enough to maintain their crunch ensures a delightful bite in every mouthful. Serve your Purple Stir-Fry over jasmine rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal that's sure to impress! Enjoy crafting your stir-fry masterpiece today!
