Spicy Tofu Vegetable Toss With Jasmine Rice

Jesus loved the enthusiast, the man who knew what side he was on and threw himself whole-heartedly into the struggle. He liked energetic action, as in the men who climbed the roof and broke a way through for their paralyzed friend, or in Zacchaeus who forgot his dignity and swarmed up a tree. He loved the generous giver. All four Gospels quote His saying, 'He who loves life loses it; he who spends keeps.' It sums up His attitude to life. He praised the man who banged on the door till he got an answer; He wanted men to show that kind of determination in the affairs of religion. He praised the widow who badgered the unjust judge into doing justice. He did not like playing for safety or burying one’s talent. It is the peace-makers rather than the peace-keepers whom He blesses. Goodness is a positive active loyalty (Hugh Martin).

30 minutes to squeeze out excess water. Pat dry and cut into 1/2"
chunks.  Combine broth soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, sesame oil,
chile paste  with garlic, and brown sugar in a small bowl, and set
aside.  Place wok over medium heat. When hot add canola oil. Add
ginger,  garlic, and onion, and stir-fry briskly for a few seconds.
Increase  heat to high, add tofu, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Toss in
