"I received this recipe from a friend when I was trying to eat more meatless meals," says Louisville, Kentucky's Denise Lee. "Much to my surprise, my family didn't mind the tofu and still ask me to make it all time."

Ingredients

1 package (12.3 ounces) silken reduced-fat extra-firm tofu, cubed
4 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 package (16 ounces) broccoli coleslaw mix
1/3 cup reduced-fat peanut butter
1/4 cup reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce

Directions

In a nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry the tofu, onions, ginger, garlic and pepper flakes in 3 teaspoons oil until onions are tender. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, stir-fry the broccoli coleslaw mix in remaining oil for 4-5 minutes.
Combine the peanut butter and teriyaki sauce; stir into coleslaw mix. Return tofu mixture to the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.

Editor's Note

Broccoli coleslaw mix may be found in the produce section of most grocery stores.

I can stand more than a 1/2 tsp of ginger. So what is a good substitute for ginger?

Can anyone help me with what is included in the broccoli coleslaw mix? I live in Japan and can't buy this ready made.
