Instructions

Tofu

  • PAT tofu dry with a towel and toss with salt, pepper, and oil. Air fry at 400°F for 10-15 minutes, or bake for 25-30 minutes. To pan fry, toss tofu with salt and pepper, then heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat and brown the tofu on all sides.
  • ADD 2 tablespoons of the Chili Sauce to a mixing bowl and dump the tofu in while still hot. Toss until tofu is well coated.

Bean Sprouts

  • BLANCH bean sprouts in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  • SQUEEZE excess water out of bean sprouts.
  • ADD bean sprouts to a bowl and mix with green onion, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.

Spinach

  • BLANCH spinach in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  • SQUEEZE excess water out of spinach. Chop into 2-inch pieces.
  • ADD spinach to a bowl and mix with garlic, sesame oil, and salt.

Shiitake Mushrooms and Carrots

  • HEAT oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and salt and cook until mushrooms soften.
  • ADD garlic and coconut aminos and stir for 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and cook the carrots next.
  • ADD 2 teaspoons of avocado oil to the skillet. Once hot, add the carrots and stir fry until just tender, about 3-5 minutes.
