Tofu & Veggie stir fry

One of the very best sources of protein for vegetarians comes from Tofu. Stir frying is one of the many ways you can cook tofu. I do this very often with variations in the sauce I make or the veggies I use. You can use broccoli or carrots or any other combination you please. I have used red & yellow peppers in this dish.


You need
Tofu (silken) - 1/2 cake (diced)
Red & yellow pepper - 1/4 cup (diced)
Green onions 
Soy sauce -1 tablespoon
Salt
Pepper
Vinegar - 1 tablespoon
Sugar - 1 teaspoon
Red chilly - 1
Garlic - 1 (crushed)
Toung sauce - 1 tabelspoon
Corn starch - 1/2-1 tablespoon
Oil


Method
  • In a wok start by adding oil followed by red chillies and garlic.
  • Add in the peppers and tofu and stir fry for a minute.
  • Remove the tofu since it might be too soft and break apart.
  • In a bowl combine soy sauce, tuong sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper and pour this into the wok.
  • Add required water to bring it to sauce consistency.
  • Allow it to simmer for 3 minutes on high.
  • Combine corn starch in little water and pour it into the sauce and thicken the sauce.
  • Add tofu and allow to cook for 5 minutes and turn off the heat.
  • Garnish with green onions and serve warm over fried rice.
