Tofu Masala for #SummerofStirFry

Pin It PIN IT!

I’m keeping it short and sweet here folks, because today’s recipe doesn’t need a lot of fluffy words to make it sound good.

This tofu masala is made with crispy baked tofu bites, sautéed vegetables, super spicy sauce and creamy, buttery saffron rice. It can be made in less than 30 minutes flat and can be doubled, tripled or quadrupled for leftovers all week long. Honestly, I don’t know what else to say. El and I ate the entire batch (meant for 4) in one evening and I proceeded to make the exact same dish for dinner the next night.

I mean, look at it, wouldn’t you make it two nights in a row too? It’s total comfort food for the soul, especially when you’ve been as crazy, stressed and insane as I’ve been lately. My absolute favorite part about this spicy Indian dish has to be that it’s made in just one pan. That’s one, one giant wok is all you need to recreate this perfect recipe at home.

I have to thank Circulon, especially, for including me in their Summer of Stir Fry campaign. I’m all about one pot meals, and it makes it so much easier to create them when you have a fantastic product to start with! Plus, thanks to them I am happy to be giving away 1 Circulon Acclaim 12-inch Covered Wok!!

    This is darn tempting. We love Indian food, and fortunately, my Midwestern, meat-loving husband is more than happy to make a meal out of tofu! I do think, though, that our first dish in a new wok would be Pad Thai with shrimp...

    Stir fries are where it's at. Tofu is a hard sale in my house, but I think this might work really well!! It certainly looks amazing!

    Less than 10 minutes prep time has my name written all over it! I love Indian food (recent discovery!)

    Looks delicious! We've been trying to eat more meatless meals and we've been experimenting with tofu! I think this is going to the must-try list!

    The first thing I'd make would be a Malaysian stir-fried flat rice noodle dish called char kuey teow bc it needs a wok to get its distinctive charred flavor!

    Aw, this was a really good post. Spending some time and actual effort to create a top notch article… but what can I say… I
    procrastinate a llot and don't seem to get nearly
    anything done.
