Heart Healthy Recipe: Vegetable and Tofu Stir Fry
Published: 2/3/2012

Try our heart healthy recipes presented each Friday throughout February!

Why order in from your local Chinese place when you can make a restaurant-quality stir-fry in your own kitchen? Yours will be much healthier, too! The idea behind stir-frying is to produce a mixture in which all the items are crunchy-tender and retain their colors and individual character, so it's important to stir the ingredients constantly over high heat. While a steel wok is the ideal pan for making stir-fry dishes because it distributes heat evenly, large flat skillets are nearly as effective.

Food as Medicine
Cultures whose diets are rich in soy foods such as tofu generally have significantly lower rates of heart disease than those with low soy consumption. The protein in soy foods has been shown to decrease LDL ("bad") cholesterol by up to 40 percent, as well as decrease triglyceride levels.
