Help with cooking stir fry/tofu
hi, i am new to cooking (in general) and really dont know how to cook things. im also poor and limited in my ingredients. i have some ingredients right now (extra firm tofu, honey, soy sauce, garlic, onion, corn starch, soy bean sprout, snow peas, rice). i looked up some ideas and i came up with the idea of frying the tofu and making a soy sauce/honey glaze, having that as the main, then a side dish of stir fried soy bean sprout and snow peas with soy sauce for flavor, then a side of white rice. the thing is, it's so hard to find and exact like recipe for some of this stuff. the sprout and snow peas stir fry is apparently common, but usually with mung bean and i cant find one that explains with soy bean sprouts, which apparently requires a different cooking strategyl. some say to blanch and then cover with corn starch and then stir fry, some say not to blanch and to steam in the pan before stir fry, some say not to do either, and with the snow peas idk if i should start cooking it earlier or after os same time as snow peas. with the tofu one recipe said to fry i should mix in soy sauce then corn starch, but idk if i should still do that if im making a soy sauce/honey glaze, idk it's all very confusing for me and then on top of that i have no idea the times i should use or anything. can someone please help me
