About This Recipe
This savory Tomato Tofu Stir-Fry is a deliciously balanced dish that combines crispy pan-fried tofu with the bright acidity of fresh tomatoes and the aromatic crunch of celery and onion. The tofu is perfectly browned for a satisfying texture, while a mix of diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings creates a rich, slightly sweet, and tangy glaze. Fragrant scallions and ginger add depth, and a quick high-heat reduction locks in bold flavors. Ideal for a healthy yet flavorful meal, this stir-fry is vegan-friendly (swap chicken powder for a plant-based alternative) and pairs wonderfully with steamed rice. Quick to prepare yet packed with umami, it’s a standout weeknight dinner!

Heat the oil in a wok, stir-fry the scallion whites and ginger shreds until fragrant, then add the onion and celery and stir-fry until fragrant. Add half of the diced tomatoes, a small amount of tomato sauce, the pan-fried tofu, a small amount of water, and some sugar, salt, and chicken powder for seasoning.
