Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings


  • onion, chopped (1)
  • garlic, minced (2 cloves)
  • medium zucchini, finely diced (2)
  • firm tofu, diced or crumbled (8 oz (227 g))
  • chili powder (1 tsp (5 mL))

Directions

  1. Heat 1/2 c (120 mL) of water in a large nonstick skillet.



  2. Add onion and garlic. Cook over high heat, stirring often, until soft, about 5 minutes.



  3. Add zucchini, tofu, and chili powder. Reduce heat and cook, stirring often, until zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes. Add a small amount of additional water, if necessary, to prevent sticking.
