Stir Fried Tofu and Vegetables

An inexpensive wash can be made by adding a couple of tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide and vinegar to a large pot of water. Be sure to rinse. For variety, instead of tofu you can substitute a pound of extra lean hamburger or diced chicken breast

Chop the vegetables and tofu into bit sized pieces. Pour the olive oil into a large wok or frying pan. Coat the bottom thoroughly and heat. Crush the garlic with a press, dice the onion and stir for a minute. Add the tofu, the soy sauce and wine. Stir the tofu so that it aborbs the liquid, then add the brocolli, carrots and tomatoes.
