Questions people ask about Tofu / Paneer Stir-Fry + Rice

How long does Tofu / Paneer Stir-Fry + Rice take?

About 25 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. Most of that is active, so read the method through before you start rather than chopping as you go.

What can I use instead of tofu in Tofu / Paneer Stir-Fry + Rice?

Use paneer, cubed the same size. It browns faster, so drop the heat slightly.

Can I make Tofu / Paneer Stir-Fry + Rice ahead of time?

Not really. This one relies on being crisp, and crisp does not survive the fridge. Prepare the components ahead if you like, but cook it just before eating.

Is Tofu / Paneer Stir-Fry + Rice vegetarian?

Yes, it is vegetarian. It is not vegan as written because it contains dairy; swap the dairy for a plant alternative and the rest of the method is unchanged.

What do you serve with Tofu / Paneer Stir-Fry + Rice?

Over rice. It serves two as written. Double everything to feed four, but use a wider pan so the food still browns rather than steams.
