Healthier tamari is in a very different league to soy because it is made using a very natural fermenting process, is less salty, and has a stronger umami flavour, meaning you can get away with less. Many store bought soy sauces will contain gluten, sugar and other preservatives so tamari is far superior, albeit more expensive. Tamari sauce is way superior to soy sauce, yet it tastes very similar and can be used the same way. Buckwheat is slightly more favourable because of its higher protein content, and also has a great amino acid profile like tofu. You can use either of these noodles as they are both gluten free and will keep your tummy happy. Also, it’s an easily absorbable protein for the human body. Tofu is derived from the soy bean, is minimally processed, and is a complete protein in itself very close to animal protein in it’s amino acid profile. The addition of tofu (which is a very protein dense, plant based meat alternative) makes this delicious stir-fry very high protein.
However, this is personal choice of course! High protein But, if this does happen, we use only very minimally and feel this doesn’t compromise an otherwise healthy plant based diet. Ordinarily, we do like most of our dishes to be whole foods plant based with NO oils, but there are a couple of dishes that sometimes may need a little to still taste amazing. Sesame is traditionally used in Chinese food, so if you have it in your cupboard already then you should go with that. You can use peanut, olive, coconut or sesame as they all will all work well. We’ve used minimal oil (you can make yours oil free, but we feel this does compromise the end result), but a little goes a long way. Why we LURVVE this Chinese tofu stir-fry recipe so much!
