ingredients
- 2 cups fresh sugar snap peas
- 1 (16 ounce) package reduced-fat extra-firm tofu, drained
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium teriyaki sauce or 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1⁄4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 medium yellow sweet pepper, cut into thin strips
- 8 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
directions
- Remove strings and tips from pea pods; cut in half. Set pea pods aside. Cut tofu crosswise into eight 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in a single layer in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Pour 2 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce over tofu; turn slices to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- In a shallow dish combine cornmeal and ground red pepper. Drain tofu, discarding marinade. Carefully dip tofu slices in cornmeal mixture; press gently to coat both sides. Set tofu slices aside.
- Pour 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil into a large nonstick skillet. Preheat over medium-high heat. Stir-fry sweet pepper strips for 2 minutes. Add pea pods and green onions; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes more or until crisp-tender.
- Remove skillet from heat; stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce. Transfer vegetable mixture to a serving platter; cover and keep warm. Wipe skillet clean.
- In the same skillet heat the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil and the cooking oil over medium heat. Cook the coated tofu slices for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden brown, using a spatula to turn carefully. Serve tofu slices over vegetable mixture. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
