1/2 t Minced Ginger Root
pinch Crushed Red Pepper

Directions for Marinating the Portabellos & Tofu

• Combine sesame oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, fresh ginger and crushed red pepper to make a marinade for portabellos and tofu.


• Marinate mushrooms and tofu separately for about 15 minutes, then drain excess marinade.

Stir-Frying & Seasoning the Vegetables:

• Pre-heat wok or sauté pan; add enough sesame oil to coat.


• When oil begins to smoke, sauté fresh ginger until it begins to brown; add garlic and continue to sauté until garlic just begins to brown.


• Add all veggies (except for bean sprouts) and sauté until broccoli begins to soften, then add tofu and mushrooms.


• Season with lite soy sauce or Bragg's Liquid Aminos. (If you want more ginger flavor, the taste can be adjusted by adding more sautéed fresh ginger or ground dry ginger).


• Add bean sprouts just before removing from heat so they stay nice and crisp.


• Plate and serve.
