I love Thai food.  There is something about the combination of herbs and seasonings as well as the sweet and salty sauces that makes my mouth water.  I know I’ve said it before but I hate that there is no place to go where I live and get Thai food.  I usually only have it whenever I visit my family in Pittsburgh.

Stir Fried Tofu and Vegetables

A few months ago I received a Thai cookbook and I’ve been loving it!  The recipes are fairly easy to make and the end results are delicious and curb my craving for Thai.  We make a lot of tofu in our house which is often an ingredient in Thai cooking.   Since it doesn’t have much flavor it really absorbs the flavors of the sauce it’s cooked with.

This recipe combines tofu, bell peppers, mushrooms, baby corn, and a lot of spices.  The sauce is a little tart from the lemon juice, spicy from the Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce, and has a touch of sweet from the brown sugar.  I love that there is so much flavor in this vegetarian dish.
