[...] part of my new vegetarian diet, I decided it was time to try tofu. I found a recipe online for a stir-fry with tofu, and adapted it based on what we had. It turned out pretty good (even my meat-loving husband liked [...]

I used a bowl to form the rice. Spray it with a little oil first, press the rice in and then invert onto the plate.

Hey, This recipe looks really great! Can’t wait to try it soon… But, how did you get the steamed rice into such a nice shape? The presentation of the dish makes it look so tasty!

I like to use canola because it holds up well to high heat better than just about anything. I think grapeseed oil can take an ever higher temp. I like a little sesame oil, but too much can be overpowering in flavor (for me). There’s quite a bit of sesame already in the sauce I was using too. Thanks!

I’ve been collecting stiry fry recipes and just came across this one. Q: Why do I see so much canola oil in stir fry recipes? I suspect there is a food science reason. I prefer the taste of sesame oil and add a bit of olive oil as I think it helps sesame stand up to stir fry heat. Also, I like to add Mirin rice wine with the soy. Also I like to sprinkle sesame seeds on the tofu. It makes them look “feastier”. I like the way you showed the steps.

Just made this dish- thanks for a great recipe.
I’m not much of a cook, and out in Oahu this summer by myself.
The landscape is inspiring me to try lots of new things, and this is one of them.
I’ll definitely cook this up for my family when I get home!
