Tofu Mango Stir Fry

Yes, i've been missing in action for a while now but really glad to be back but with a slight difference. I've embarked on this wellness program where i've going through an intensive 15-weeks of nutrition & personal training so food has a little different perspective now - i've redefined myself as a health foodie for the moment ;)

So hopefully the health foodie in you will relate & find some of these upcoming recipes still delicious & yummy!

so without further ado, here's this new recipe i concocted last night purely based on imagination & what was in my refrigerator:

15oz Firm Tofu
6oz Mango (i used the already cut Mango you can conveniently buy at Trader Joe's)
1 cup mixed sweet peppers, chopped into chunks (i used mini-bell peppers from Trader Joe's but feel free to use regula bell or any peppers currently in season)
1T crushed ginger
1T crushed garlic
1/2 bunch scallions finely chopped
2 sweet South African Peppadew peppers, roughly chopped (you can get these marinated in vinegar at Whole Foods at the olive bar & they're sweet & delicious if you haven't tried them before)
1T low sodium Soy sauce
1t olive oil
1t sesame oil
no salt required

Heat olive oil in wok (small wok works for this quantity) on medium low. add ginger & garlic. stir for 1-2 min & add the scallions. stir for 1 min. add the chopped bell peppers & mango. stir another 1-2 min until they have softened a little. add the tofu, soy sauce & peppadew peppers & stir another 1-2 min until well blended. stir in the sesame oil to finish off & turn the heat off.

Tip: if you like extra spicy like i do, add chilli paste or crushed chillies at the end.

Makes 2 servings with approx. 330 calories & 18g of fat per serving. Add a cup of raw veggie salad with salt, pepper & a squeeze of lime juice & you'll have a hearty, filling but really healthy meal.

Enjoy!
