I really want to make this but the recipe is very confusing. You just add the whole block of tofu to the pan and stir fry? Surely you cut it into pieces before coating it in corn starch. And when do you add the broccoli slaw and red bell pepper? At the end? With the garlic? You say “serve sprinkle with pine nuts” but peanuts are listed in the ingredient list. This sounds like a great recipe that I really want to make soon so I would just like some clarification.
Thanks!

You should not be embarrassed at all Maris! Most of us have been there and I can say now, although I hated back then, I’m glad I was on a very tight budget. Made me appreciate things in a better way and forced me to think twice before going into a store.
Your noodles would make such a wonderful dinner!

I think my cab expenses are probably similar. I’m sure I’ve got a lot to cringe about money wise.

this looks awesome! i’m definitely someone who spends too much on takeout when time in short/i’m busy/i’m feeling uninspired in the kitchen, + i’ve been trying to cut down on that lately. asian food + indian food are particular weaknesses of mine, so this sounds like it would fufill my craving without costing so much money. yay for that!

Trader Joe’s is the BEST place to shop on a 20-something budget. Even regular old grocery stores have some absurd prices these days. Chrissy and I have managed to spend far less than than anyone we know by cooking 95% of our meals from scratch, taking left overs to work for lunch and shopping for the best deals around. I’m very happy you have discovered ways around your tough financial situation 🙂 Oh, and take out is the other 5% of our meals so this recipe is just perfect for us!
