PAN FRIED TOFU AND BELL PEPPERS
Pan Fried Tofu with rainbow Bell Peppers is a quick, easy, vegan and gluten free tofu recipe. I cooked tofu to make it crispy and then added bell peppers and few spices to elevate the taste. This is my way of adding, healthy yet scrumptious vegan side dish to any main course. Ask me, I can enjoy a bowl full of this delicious, aromatic and protein rich side anytime of the day. If you prefer, mix it with plain rice or eat on side with some grilled meat for lunch/dinner. Quick Tip - Use Paper Towels to remove extra moisture from Tofu. This reduces the cooking time and also, water does not sputter when you add Tofu to preheated pan. It you do not have turmeric, just use red pepper powder, salt and crushed black pepper. Believe me it will still taste amazing. Just do not forget to add lemon juice (this is key ingredient here).

Steps:
- Dice tofu into small 1/2 inch squares and pat dry with paper towel to remove water. I used firm Tofu for this recipe. Also dice bell peppers into similar size and set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in pan, add tofu and fry till tofu is light brown from all sides. Now add bell peppers and stir fry for 5 minutes or till bell peppers are little soft.
- Now add red pepper powder, turmeric (or curry powder if using), salt and stir to coat tofu and vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes for flavor to marry.
- Add lemon juice and remove pan from heat. Garnish with some fresh chopped cilantro and serve hot with your choice of rice or as snack.
TOFU AND PEPPERS WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
Our spicy peanut sauce is inspired by the one used in satay, a common Indonesian dish. The sauce is a perfect accompaniment to the mild-flavored tofu.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice each tofu cake crosswise into 6 rectangles.
- In a shallow container, whisk together 1 tablespoon each oil and soy sauce. Dip tofu pieces lightly on all sides to coat. Brush two rimmed baking sheets with remaining tablespoon oil; divide tofu between them. Scatter peppers around the edges.
- Bake 10 minutes; turn tofu and peppers. Continue baking until tofu is golden brown and peppers begin to char, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together peanut butter, lime juice, chili sauce, brown sugar, 3 tablespoons water, and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, until warm. Drizzle sauce over tofu and peppers. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

TOFU WITH BELL PEPPERS
I got this out of a vegetarian cookbook I got years ago. This is one tofu recipe that even people who do not like tofu love!! My kids even love it!! I serve it over some Jasmin rice, and it gets devoured. If you want more sauce for the rice, double the amount of sauce you make).

Steps:
- Cut the tofu into bite sized cubes. Place in a bowl.
- Mix together the garlic, soy sauce, and sweet chili sauce. Drizzle over the tofu and coat. Let it sit for at least 30 minute.
- Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook over high heat until brown and almost crispy (you can crisp them if you want). Remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels.
- Remove the pan from the heat (it WILL spit at you if you do not). Add the tofu. You can return it to the heat once it has stopped spitting and cook for about 5 minute Remove all but 1 tbs of oil (I usually do not have to remove any oil), and all of the tofu.
- Add the bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes or until soft. Turn down heat and let cool for a bit so the sauce does not spit on you. Return the tofu, onions, and leftover sauce to pan. Heat through.

STIR-FRIED TOFU AND PEPPERS
This attractive stir-fry is inspired by a traditional Chinese dish called rainbow beef. The vegetarian version works well, and it's also easier to make. If you prefer a very firm tofu, take the extra time to weight it as directed in step 1. I am happy to skip this step and use firm tofu that hasn't been weighted.

Steps:
- Optional step for firmer tofu: Blot the tofu dry, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and place a cutting board on top. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Whether weighted or not, slice the tofu about 1/2 inch thick into 1- x 2-inch dominoes.
- Mix together 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium bowl. Toss with the tofu, and stir to make sure all of the pieces are coated. Let sit for five to 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, stir together the remaining soy sauce and sugar, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil, turn the heat to medium-high and add the peppers. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, until the peppers begin to soften, and add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 20 seconds, until the garlic and ginger begin to smell fragrant, and add the tofu, dried red pepper flakes and green onions. Stir-fry two minutes, give the sauce a stir and add to the pan. Cover and cook for three minutes. Remove the lid, stir the ingredients in the pan, and taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with rice or noodles.
