2 teaspoons peanut oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1-inch piece fresh gingerroot, grated
1 cup fresh sugar snap peas
1 medium carrot, cut into julienne pieces (1 1/2x1/4x1/4 inch)

1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon gluten-free reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce

Press tofu between paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Set aside. Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet or large wok over medium-high heat. Add peanut oil to pan; swirl to cover bottom. When oil is hot, add tofu. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until light golden brown. Remove tofu from skillet.

Working quickly, add garlic and gingerroot; stir. Add peas and carrot; stir. Add mushrooms. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until mushrooms begin to brown. Add kale. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly until kale wilts. Add tofu, sesame oil, soy sauce and fish sauce. Stir to thoroughly coat. Serve over rice.
