Asparagus Stir fry

Friday, November 12, 2010

toasted sesame oil-or olive oil
1 block of fresh firm tofu-cut into thin slices
2 large white onions-finely sliced
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1/2 bunch of asparagus-cut into 1 inch pieces
a couple of pinches of fine grain sea salt
3 cloves of garlic-chopped up a bit
1 big handful of flaked almonds-or cashew nuts chopped up a bit
a few handfuls of chopped chard or kale
zest and juice of one large lime
2 tablespoons of braggs liquid aminos-or tamari or soy sauce (hoisin sauce also works!)
1 large handful of basil, chopped

Have all your ingredients prepped and ready to hand.  Heat a splash of oil in a large pan-I use a non stick one, over a medium heat.  When it is hot add the onion and ginger-let soften, then add the asparagus and salt.  Continue cooking for a minute or until asparagus is bright green, add the tofu. When the tofu is golden add the chard/kale, nuts and ginger.  Stir fry for another minute or until the chard wilts.  Stir in the soy sauce and lime zest.  Cook for another few seconds, stirring all the while.

Remove from the heat and stir in the basil.  taste and add more salt if needed.
