Visit drsha.com for more information.<\/p>\n<p>Although Sha spends most of his time traveling the world, he says he always enjoys coming to Hawaii where it&#8217;s so easy to find simple, healthy meals in abundance. This column is dedicated to him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VEGETARIAN TOFU STIR-FRY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#x2022; 1 (14-ounce) package <strong>extra-firm tofu<\/strong>, drained and cut into cubes<br \/>\n&#x2022; 4 cups small <strong>broccoli florets <\/strong><br \/>\n&#x2022; 2 cups thinly sliced, peeled <strong>carrots <\/strong><br \/>\n&#x2022; 1 cup <strong>Chinese peas<\/strong>, trimmed<br \/>\n&#x2022; 2 teaspoons finely minced <strong>ginger root <\/strong><br \/>\n&#x2022; 3 cloves minced <strong>garlic <\/strong><br \/>\n&#x2022; <strong>salt <\/strong>and <strong>pepper<\/strong>, to taste<br \/>\n&#x2022; 2 tablespoons <strong>canola oil <\/strong><br \/>\n&#x2022; 1\/2 cup low-sodium <strong>vegetable broth <\/strong>combined with 1 tablespoon <strong>cornstarch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Put tofu into marinade and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Drain tofu and reserve marinade.<\/p>\n<p>Heat oil in wok or nonstick pan and add tofu. Stir-fry tofu until browned on all sides and remove to plate. Add broccoli, carrots, Chinese peas, ginger, garlic, and salt and pepper, to taste, and stir-fry until vegetables are crisp-tender. Mix broth mixture with reserved marinade to combine and add to pan. Turn up heat and stir for a few minutes until broth mixture thickens. Add tofu and heat through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Marinade:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#x2022; 1\/4 cup <strong>low-sodium soy sauce <\/strong><br \/>\n&#x2022; 2 tablespoons <strong>rice vinegar <\/strong><br \/>\n&#x2022; 2 teaspoons <strong>dark sesame oil <\/strong><br \/>\n&#x2022; 2 teaspoons <strong>dark brown sugar <\/strong>Combine marinade ingredients and mix well.<\/p>\n<p>This delicious vegetarian stir-fry is easy to make. Have all the ingredients ready before cooking, as it cooks fast. You can experiment and substitute your favorite vegetables. I like to serve this with brown rice.<\/p>\n<p>Native to Asia, ginger root has been used as a spice and medicine for thousands of years, and also medicinally in Asian, Indian and Arabic cultures. In China, for more than 2,000 years, ginger has been consumed to help digestion and treat nausea, upset stomach and diarrhea. Ginger was highly sought after for its medicinal properties and was exported from India to the Roman Empire more than 2,000 years ago. It is used to flavor gingerbread, cakes and cookies, served raw with sushi and is an ingredient in many spice mixes, such as pumpkin pie spice. <\/p>\n<p><strong>heartychef@hotmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha is a world-renowned miracle soul healer.
