Calling all Salad lovers!

I have been eating a ton of salads lately! It is a bit intense, but good if you mix it up. The best part you can add as much or as little of each ingredient depending on how much you have or how much you like each ingredient. They are superego easy, quick to make and very satisfying!

Stir-fry with Miso Dressing

I love stir-fries. They are easy, versatile, and tasty! You can use whatever veggies you have in your fridge. This evening I used bok choy, green peppers and tofu. To top it off I made an easy and great tasting miso dressing.

Stir-fry Ingredients
1 package of firm tofu
3 bok choy
1 green pepper
(You can use any combination of vegetables you like or need to use up in your fridge)

Miso Dressing Ingredients
2 Tbls white miso
1/2 Tbls sesame seed oil
1/2-1tsp garlic powder

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl with a little bit of water to thin out dressing.
Stir till smooth and set aside.

Heat skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil.  Add tofu and cook until browned.  Add green pepper an cook with tofu for 3-5 minutes.  Add bok choy to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes.

Once the vegetables cooked add the miso dressing and cook until sauce is heated.  This is a tasty, yet fast dinner that can be eaten with rice noodles, brown rice or in a pita.

Enjoy!
