Spokavore: Day 3

Have no fear, I’m still in the hunt. I’m just a little late posting because I got sucked into”Inglorious Inglourious Basterds” last night up until bed time.

In a hurry yesterday morning, I settled for some Doma coffee with Spokane Family Farms milk and an orange from Fresh Abundance. Lunch was the sandwich I described Tuesday, leftover delicata squash and an apple. A Bumblebar and some tangerines served as snacks.

Dinner was a lot of fun. Imagine a stir fry without sauce. Dull? Uninspired? Not at all.

1. Start by frying up some Small Planet Tofu (I used the garlic and herb flavor).
2. In a separate pan, toss in a load of onions and crushed garlic cloves. Let those go for about five minutes.
3. Add sliced celery, carrots and fresh ginger. Salt and pepper the lot.
4. When the celery starts to look good, toss in some snow peas and baby bok choy (cut into two-inch pieces). Add a little water and cover to steam these latest additions for three to four minutes.
5. Throw in the tofu to mix.

Between the garlic, onion, ginger, celery, salt and pepper, there’s enough flavors mingling here that I didn’t even miss the soy sauce I would typically add. My dining partner opted for some, but she’s not in the Spokavore challenge.

I was a lazy blogger and didn’t get a photo of my creation. Trust me when I say it was great.

Normally I’d serve this up with rice, but I didn’t want to suffer the fate of Rachel. In hindsight, I wish I’d thrown some yam (Fresh Abundance) into the mix to give the stir fry a little more substance.
