5 Minute Spicy Sesame Tofu Stir Fry

Simplicity is key when it comes to eating healthy food. I find that when I first cut out gluten from my diet (and still am wheat-free 7 years later), stir fry recipes were on repeat! This one is especially my fave: Spicy Sesame Tofu Stir Fry. Super simple, quick to make, and so delicious! 

This one especially is my go to. Simple organic tofu fried with sesame oil is so yum! And all this really can be done in 5 minutes!

I may look like I am food-obsessed but I also have this approach to keep it super simple in the kitchen and always have fun. AND I also much prefer to take longer to eat a meal than to cook it! #fact

 

And as you try to cut out gluten and/ or wheat for whatever reason (be it health or trend) (less wheat is always a good idea) ;) Then Asian cuisine is a great idea to go with. As it’s mostly based on rice which is naturally gluten-free and also inexpensive. Mind you white rice isn’t an ideal ‘grain’ but it’s delicious and so versatile.

This type of a stir fry recipe is one of my favourite comfort foods. The cooking method is so quick and easy. And feel free to customize with the vegetables you have on hand:

Peppers, mushrooms, bok choy, savoy cabbage, bean sprouts etc.

[yumprint-recipe id=’39’]I love customizing the veggies and flavours and I also kept it simple with the sauce so that I don’t have to have 10 ingredients just for the sauce. I find that so discouraging when you need to buy so many ingredients for a simple dish. I also didn’t want to buy store-bought asian sauces as those have questionable ingredients. Although there’s so many organic sauces now on the market. Essentially it’s your call to add something you already have on hand.
