Smoked Tofu, Asparagus and Peach Stir Fry

Tofu asparagus and peach stir fryTofu asparagus and peach stir fry by Sophie

A luxurious stir fry perfect for early Summer, when aparagus is selling affordably and the fresh peaches available need cooking to bring out their flavour. I grabbed the fresh ingredients when they were selling off cheaply at the end of the day in our local supermarket.

It's a colourful dish that kids and adults alike love, as long as tofu floats their boat. Smoked tofu is a good one to introduce people to first. This one was previously frozen and thawed, which changes the creamy texture to a more spongy one that people can adapt to more easily and soaks up flavours well.

Ingredients

  • 1 large onion
  • 1 handful sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (they can be dry or in oil)
  • 2 x 280g packs of smoked tofu (Dragonfly is our favourite, when we can get it), chopped
  • 2 peaches, chopped small
  • 2 bunches of asparagus
  • 2 handfuls of chard, fresh spinach or spring greens, chopped roughly
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • dash of tamari
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • dash of chilli sauce or powder, or more if you like, or a finely chopped fresh chilli if you have one
  • olive oil

Method

  • Heat a little olive oil in a wok or large frying pan.
  • Stir fry the onion and sun-dried tomato, then turn the heat down and put a lid on.
  • After a few minutes, when the onion has softened a little, add in the smoked tofu cubes, asparagus and peach.
  • Sprinkle in the condiments, sesame oil and tamari.
  • Turn the heat up and stir-fry for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the chard, stir, cover with the lid, turning down the heat, and let steam for 3 minutes until greens are softened.
  • Serve immediately on rice noodles or rice.
