I had planned on making kebabs with the daycare kids today, but none of them wanted to help cook. They were far too interested in the new Legos and I couldn't tear them away. So I ended up just tossing everything together in a stir fry. Same ingredients either way, so you choose if you want it in a pan or on a stick!
I would spice this up a whole lot more if it were for a nice dinner, but this is the 10 minute "kid-friendly" version that they help cook. Feel free to add garlic, ginger, hot sauce, etc. if you prefer. You may also want to add a little cornstarch to the sauce before cooking if you like it a little thicker.
TERIYAKI STIR FRY OR KEBABS
2 T. oil for stir frying
1 pkg extra firm Tofu, cut into 1" chunks
1/2 white onion, cut into 1" chunks
1 green pepper, cut into 1" chunks
1 yellow or red pepper, cut into 1" chunks
1 pkg button mushrooms, cut in halves
1 can pineapple chunks, reserve the liquid
1/4 - 1/2 c. teriyaki sauce (your favorite store bought version)
Brown Rice
STIR FRY: Brown the tofu and onion in oil and then add the other veggies. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes until peppers are crisp tender. Mix the reserved pineapple juice with the teriyaki and pour over tofu and veggies. Toss in pineapple and heat just a minute or two until warm. Serve over brown rice.
KEBABS: Skewer the tofu, veggies and pineapple onto skewers. Grill or brown in a pan with oil, turning occasionally to brown all sides. Brush with teriyaki/pineapple juice liquid often during cooking. Serve over brown rice.
