Tofu Stir-Fry

Marinating the tofu adds flavor to this tasty vegetarian dish. Canola oil's high smoke point makes it perfect for high-heat stir-fries. Serve over brown rice.

Make sure your curry powder is less than six months old to ensure the best flavor! Using neutral-tasting canola oil helps those lively spices stand out.

Soba Noodles with Mushroom, Spinach & Tofu

Instead of high-sodium packaged ramen for lunch, try soba "buckwheat noodles" with a protein-packed vegetarian sauté. Because mushrooms tend to soak up so much oil, they are "sweated" in a covered pan so that they soften in their own juices. While tofu is the traditional protein in this Japanese dish, you can substitute leftover cubed chicken or turkey for the tofu, and peas for the edamame, if you like.
