Stir-fried gingered corn with asparagus

I just made and ate this amazingly tasty thing and forgot to take a photo... oh well, too late now.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divide
  • 15 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 2/3 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup small onion, vertically sliced
  • 1 julienne-cut yellow or red bell pepper
  • 6 ounces asparagus, steamed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
  • 1/3 cup organic vegetable stock
  • 2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 cups hot cooked short-grain rice
  • 3 thinly sliced green onions
4 1.5 cup servings

Directions

1. Steam the asparagus, begin cooking the rice.

2. Heat 1.5 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat. Add tofu; sauté for 10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove tofu from pan with a slotted spoon.

3. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add corn and next 4 ingredients (through bell pepper); stir-fry 5 minutes.

4. Mix together the soy sauce, vegetable stock, rice vinegar and crushed pepper.

5. Add reserved tofu, asparagus, and next liquid mixture. Stir-fry 1 minute or until asparagus and tofu are heated.

6. Divide the rice evenly among 4 plates. Spoon about 1 cup corn mixture over rice, and top with green onions.
