This is a great way to learn how to cook tofu and makes for an easy and nutritious weeknight dinner
Recipe type: Vegetarian
Serves: 4
What you'll need
- 1 packet Macro Vegetarian Hard tofu
- 1 red onion
- 1 red capsicum
- 1 carrot
- handful of snow peas
- baby bok choy
- tamari (or soy sauce)
- tamari roasted almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and slice all of your vegetables. Try to keep your carrot slices thin so they cook as quickly as the other vegies
- Remove the tofu from the packet and slice with a sharp knife down the centre then into slices.
- Heat a wok with oil and when hot place the red onion wedges in, cook and shake the wok a few times to move the onions around
- Add in the tofu and fry for a few minutes turning the pieces of tofu over so they are browned on both sides. The wok should be really sizzling and add some tamari/soy sauce in too.
- When the tofu is brown and the onions are cooked gently slide the tofu and onions onto a plate and set aside.
- Add another dash of oil to the frypan and add in the remaining vegies except for the bok choy. Shake the wok a few times and make sure the vegies are cooking and the wok is sizzling.
- Add in the bok choy and some tamari and keep cooking, moving the vegetables around quickly.
- When the vegies are cooked through (you don't want them soft but still have a bit of a crunch) then add in the onions and tofu, some more tamari/soy sauce and shake around in the wok.
- Divide amongst bowls, top with a few almonds in each bowl and enjoy.

Corrie, I like Macro products too, especially the organic milk. When I lived at Killara, I did a lot of shopping at the Macro shop at Hornsby. Big shop, bulk products, lots of organic stuff. And a cute little cafe selling good salads and burgers for lunches as well as good coffee.
Then Woolworths took them over. I was devastated. I had to laugh at the sign in WW – “Now you can buy Macro products at WW.” Well yes, you could but there were about ten products. Yes the range is expanding now, thank goodness, and I can get my organic peanut butter with absolutely no additives. However, what is currently available is merely a minute amount of what they used to sell. Still, it is expanding, although it will never be as big as it was because the store was about as big as a normal Woolies.
I was so excited to try these, I do get a lot of the Woolies Macro & organic range already.. but unfortunately after reading the ingredients they contain yeast extract which is MSG in another form..I was devastated..! {No my kids aren’t “vegemite kids” either} These were going to become my “backup plan” for nights I didn’t want to cook .. & your recipes looked so tempting.. So its back to the handmade from scratch & keep in the freezer… Disappointed Woolies..!!!
