Ingredients
- 2/3 cup raw cashews, or unsalted dry roasted cashews
- 12 oz. pre-seasoned baked Oriental-style tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 12 oz. snow peas, stemmed and tough strings removed
- 2 Tbs. tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 Tbs. peeled and finely grated fresh ginger
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350F. Spread cashews on baking sheet; bake until lightly toasted, 10 to 12 minutes; stir occasionally.
Meanwhile, spray large nonstick skillet or wok with cooking spray, and heat over medium-high heat. Add tofu, and cook, turning often, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Put in bowl.
Add snow peas to skillet, and stir-fry 1 minute. Add 3 Tbs. water, tamari and ginger. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until peas are tender.
Stir in tofu and cashews, and heat through. Serve warm.
