Couscous Stir Fry

Jose and I are doing the 21 Day Daniel Fast.  We started the first of January and will be going until the 21st, duh...haha!  Anyway, my kitchen skills have been challenged, but MAN, don't mean to toot my own horn, but I'm kicking butt!
This is a quick recipe that I threw together Sunday after church.  I thought it turned out super yummy!

INGREDIENTS:
1-Cup of Couscous + 1 1/4 cup of pure veggie stock to prepare
1-Container of Firm Tofu
4-Celery Stalks
1-Onion, your choice of type
4-Garlic Cloves
Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS:
Bring the veggie stock to boil, add salt if desired.  Put in the Couscous, cover & remove from heat.  Just leave covered until your done with the stir fry.

For the Stir fry, I take my 12" Skillet and drizzle the bottom with Olive Oil, you really don't need too much.  Slice up the Celery, chop onion and garlic.  Cut your tofu into bite size pieces.
Heat your pan on med-high heat with the oil, just until it's like water in the pan.  Add the onion, celery and garlic.  Cook until the onions are translucent and celery is at a soft crunch.  Add the tofu and cook until the celery is soft and tofu is a bit brown.  Toss in the couscous and serve.
This can be seasoned with garlic salt or just regular salt.
Hope you enjoy, this was my first tofu recipe.
