Easy Mix & Match Stir Fry 

I am not sure where I got this recipe.  It is from an online recipe blog, but I printed it quickly and the blog name didn’t print on the side of the page.  We absolutely love this and usually make it once a week.  You pick your protein,veggies and stir fry sauce and serve over rice, so this dish can be different every time.  We usually make it with tofu,broccoli, onions, and lemon sesame stir fry sauce.  I consider this an all-in-one meal since you have protein and veggies all together, so I don’t make anything on the side with it.
The original recipe also included recipes for some other sauces that you might want try – just scroll down to the Notes section to find those recipes.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz tofu or 1 lb chicken breast, 1 lb thinly sliced steak – whatever protein you desire
  • 1 yellow onion chopped into one inch pieces
  • 1 crown broccoli cut into one inch florets
  • 2 cups cooked white rice

For the sauce:

  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 TBS lemon juice
  • 4 TBS brown sugar
  • 3 TBS soy sauce
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Instructions

  • Whisk together all sauce ingredients.
  • Prepare your tofu. Drain on paper towels with something heavy on top to release the moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Season with salt & pepper.
  • Heat 1 TBS oil in a non-stick pan or wok. Add 4-6 cups of your veggies (broccoli & onion, in this case). Cook for 5 minutes or so, until tender but crisp. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add another 1 TBS oil to the pan. Cook tofu for 6-8 minutes, turning over once halfway through.
  • Add the entire batch of stir fry sauce. Cook for 2 minutes until heated through and sauce has thickened a bit.
  • Return the veggies to the pan and toss everything to coat in the sauce. Serve over rice and enjoy!
