I live in San Francisco, and my husband and I get a Terra Firma Farm CSA veggie box once a week. It has forced me to be mindful about what I cook, and to explore new recipes -- what do you do with persimmons? However, I find that most weeks I have some piece of greenery left wilting in the crisper, some piece of fruit molding in the fruit bowl. This blog signals a new commitment to using up all of the veggies. I will share recipes and ideas, and hope that you will share yours as well.

Sunday, September 25: Stir-fry, finally!

I finally got around to making the stir-fry from last week. Good thing green beans are sturdy!

Green Bean, Pepper & Tofu Stir-fry:
  I use peanut oil as a base oil for the stir-fry, adding in sesame oil closer to the end for some rich flavor (but not enough time to smoke).  To start, marinate tofu in tamari sauce. Then sauté some ginger and garlic in peanut oil over medium-high, add tofu and sear slightly so sides are brown. Then add chopped pepper and green beans, toss in some ground cayenne pepper and soy sauce to taste.

What's left?
- garlic
- 1 onion
- 1/2 canteloupe
- 1/2 watermelon
