Two very welcomed ‘T’s” in my day. Training: Today’s training called for a one hour bike ride. While it was actually a perfect day to jump on my bike and commute to / from work, which will probably be how I get my bike mileage in during the week, I needed the car for a lunchtime meeting. So, instead, I headed to gym for an early morning spin class. I added an extra 15 minutes of spinning before the 45 minute class started, rounding the total to 1 hour. 2nd HIM training session: DONE! It was actually a blessing that I fit in my workout early as my day ended up being a crazy one. Having barely left my desk all day, I was dying to get outside when the clock struck 5.30pm, and I wasted no time in driving home and heading into the kitchen to get dinner started. I had planned to make a chicken / beansprout salad this evening, but I discovered that we had neither ingredient (=meal planning fail). Rather than head back out in the cold to the shops, which I had no desire to do, I decided to get a little creative in the kitchen and see what I could come up with. And so my second “T” came to be. In the form of a nutty tofu stir-fry. Into the food processor went peanuts, cashews, garlic, 2 chillies and a splash of water. 
Processed until a paste had formed. I then heated the paste in a frypan with a little extra water, then added cubed pressed tofu, baby corn, beans, peas and broccoli. 
Stir-fried until the tofu had browned slightly, before adding rice vermicelli noodles to give the dish some carba-licious bulk. 
A quick and easy meal, which although being random, was actually quite tasty. But then again, I am biased when it comes to nuts and chilli! 
It cant have been too bad, both Mr BBB and I went back for seconds! Happy Baking 🙂
Looking at this I REALLY wish I had bothered to make tofu stir fry tonight!
I'm a bit nutty for nuts also. and I tend to tip more chili into a recipe than the average person. Your noodle salad looks refreshingly delicious
Mmm that is a great meal! Tofu and peanut sauce were made for each other.
oh that stir fry looks great!
You come up with such great ideas Lisa! That looks so tasty! 😀
Yummy yummy! Think I'll pick up some tofu today to make for din-din! 🙂
I dream of tofu but eat it the same way all the time–which I love–though peanut sauce is tempting. I really need a food processor!
The peanut/cashew sauce looks awesome!
And I'm jealous that you could bike to work. Unfortunately Northern Virginia is very highway dominant. Sucks. It's not easy to live in the same area where you work here because it's so spread out and SO expensive. Dennis and I work 35 miles away from each other and we live pretty much in the middle of both places. Boo!
I dream of cashews – they're so great!
Mmm I just got some tofu recently! This dish looks awesome 🙂
I have never been able to stomach tofu. But you just made it look good.
xo
how could you NOT go back for seconds right!!!! WOW thanks for the close up too 🙂 mm the broccoli against the tofu bundled with the noodles <3 <3 yayy 🙂
That looks great! Yummm
yum – so simple and so delicious – nuts noodle tofu and green veg gets my vote – who needs to be organised with dinners like this up your sleeve
TWO types of nuts? You must've known this would make me swoon 😀
How is it that you still manage to whip up such amazing meals when you do it impromptu and on the spot?
This looks delicious! I absolutely love both tofu and nuts!
