A delicious, vegetarian Stir Fry bursting with bold flavors and loads of vegetables. I don’t cook with a lot of tofu so I was pleasantly surprised that this tasted so good when I first made it. My husband insists on having meat in most meals so I usually save this one for me and the kids when he travels.
One of my sons (and myself) can’t get enough of it whereas the other one could take it or leave it so you will need to give it a try to see if it’s a hit with your family. As you can prepare most of it in advance and the cooking is so fast (about 7 minutes), this would also be a really unique and healthy lunch dish to serve to a couple of your girlfriends.
