Tofu and Bok Choy Stir Fry

About This Recipe:

This tofu and bok choy recipe is in my weekly rotation, and a household staple. It’s an under 30 minute meal, and great for a weekday lunch at home. I prefer using regular bok choy that I cut up, but you can also use baby bok choy. I like to separate and cook the white and light green bottom parts of the bok choy and scallions first so that they soften, but that’s optional. However, make sure that you use extra firm tofu because other types will get too mushy for this dish. And of course, a nice steaming bowl of jasmine rice is a necessity for this!

Enjoy!
