This was easy and enjoyed by all.

You could modify if you wanted to use an animal protein instead of tofu but why not try out the tofu since this is a very easy way to get people to accept it - and tofu is nutritious and inexpensive.

Ingredients

* 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
* 1 medium yellow onion (8 ounces), chopped

* 2 teaspoons minced or grated fresh ginger
* One (14- to 16-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and crumbled into bite-size pieces
* 3 1/2 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and chopped
* 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1/4 cup reduced-sodium tamari, soy sauce or coconut aminos, or more to taste
* 1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce, or a chili paste such as sambal oelek, or more as needed
* 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, or more as needed
* One (12-ounce) package coleslaw mix (may substitute 5 cups of a mix of shredded green and red cabbage)
* 1 cup (4 ounces) matchstick or shredded carrots (2 medium)
* 3 cups cooked white or brown rice, for serving (from 1 cup uncooked)
* 2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish (optional)
* Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
* Crispy wonton chips or fried Chinese noodles, for serving (optional)

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the sesame oil until it shimmers. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 2

Add the tofu, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to soften, about 3 minutes, then add the tamari, chili-garlic sauce and rice vinegar. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms have softened and the tofu begins browning in spots, about 4 minutes. Add the coleslaw mix and carrots and cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage begins to wilt, about 4 minutes. Taste, and season with more tamari, chili-garlic sauce and/or vinegar, if desired.

Step 3

Divide the rice among 4 bowls, then top with the stir-fry. Garnish with the scallions, cilantro, and wonton chips or fried Chinese noodles, if using, and serve with sriracha.
