Vegetables and Tofu

Whether you pluck veggies from your own garden or rely on your grocery store or farmer’s market, the simplest Thai vegetable dishes are the best. If you use vegetables at the peak of freshness and stir-fry them to tender-crisp perfection in a hot wok or skillet you really can’t go wrong. Create a lustrous glaze from a simple combination of Thai seasonings, sherry, a bit of chili, and some brown sugar or sauté them in a tangy and sour tamarind sauce and your vegetables will come alive in a way you’ve never experienced. I made the asparagus, Shiitake, Mushrooms, and tofu dish the other day and I couldn’t stop eating it. Literally. I ate the whole dish and had to make another one before my family came home for dinner.
