I’m in the middle of bringing my Bachelor Thesis to an end, I worked on completing my Bachelor Thesis the last couple of days, which is the main reason why not much is happening on this blog at the moment. The second reason is, that I’m living on about 4 different meals at the moment which are quick and easy to make. One of those easy to prepare meals is a vegetarian stir fry with tofu.

This is even better when you marinate the tofu for a bit. =)

equipment: pan
time: 10 minutes (+ marinating the tofu)

Tofu and Veggies Stir Fry (serves 1)
100 g tofu
150 g veggies (I prefer carotts, bell peppers and kohlrabi)
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

marinade
1 cup vegetable stock (2,5 dl)
2 Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar (or soy sauce if you prefer)
1 medium sized  spring onion, cut in slices/rings

1. If you’re in a hurry, you can leave out this step (just make the marinade without adding tofu). Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl, cut tofu in cubes and add them to the marinade. Let it rest covered in the fridge for about one hour. You can store it for longer too if you want (I tried it with 2 days maximum which worked very well), but taste won’t improve more than it has in the first hour.
2. Put tofu cubes (without marinade!) in preheated oil to sear it. While the tofu gets a bit darker and crunchier, cut the veggies in whichever form you like.
3. Add veggies to tofu and sear for about a minute.
4. Add marinade and reduce heat. Let it simmer covered until veggies are done.

That’s it! Easy, isn’t it? :D

I’m on the way to Chocolate- and Cheese-Country, Switzerland, to visit my parent for about a week, which is why I wanted to finish most of the school stuff before (only one term paper to write next week, yay!). I plan to cook and bake a couple of times and I hope that I’ll have the time to blog about that too =)

Also I’m still looking through the pictures of the travel which I hope to be able to present you by the end of this month.
