Clean out the fridge Stir Fry

This is a standard at our house. It often happens once a week and on weeks when things are really unwieldy, we might eat it twice.

Here's how it goes.

1 package of extra firm tofu with the fluid pressed out (I do this by wrapping the tofu in a tea towel and put a cast iron pan on top of it for 10 minutes) diced into small pieces and fried in peanut oil with salt and pepper.

All the veg in the fridge that is just on the edge of fresh. (Okay, it's beyond the edge. The cauliflower is turning brown - scrape it off. The broccoli has questionable spots on it - cut them off. The peppers are shriveling - slice them up anyway. The cabbage is dry - no worries. The last of the bag of peas. You get the idea.)

also include onions (yellow, red, green it doesn't matter)
ginger (diced, shredded, chopped, whatever)

1.5 cups of Jasmine rice in the rice cooker with 2.75 cups of water, a glug of oil and a pinch of salt.

Saute in the wok in batches (onions first, then cruciferous both with salt. Take the first batch out and add the softer veg - peppers, peas, ginger, cabbage and tofu). Add it all back together. Serve with sesame oil and tamari soy sauce.
