    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 to 3 cloves garlic minced
    • 1 large red bell pepper cut into short narrow strips
    • 2 large broccoli crowns cut into bite-sized pieces
    • 1 cup sliced cremini aka baby bella mushrooms, optional
    • 1 cup plain unsweetened rice milk
    • 2 tablespoons unbleached white flour or 1 tablespoon arrowroot
    • 8- ounce package baked tofu cut into short, narrow strips
    • ½ cup grated Mozzarella-style nondairy cheese
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
    • ⅓ cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes preferably not oil-cured, optional

    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Heat the oil in a large skillet or stir-fry pan. Sauté the garlic over medium-low heat for a minute or so, until just turning golden.
    • Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and ½ cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat until the broccoli is tender-crisp, about 4 minutes.
    • Use a little of the rice milk to dissolve the flour or arrowroot until it’s smooth and flowing. Stir it into the skillet along with the remaining milk and baked tofu.
    • Stir in the cheese, and simmer gently until everything is well heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve at once over pasta or grains.
