Stir Fried Tofu and Vegetables
This is an easy to make complete vegetarian meal alternative to tasteless boiled or steamed vegetables. Wash all veggies throughly. 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.
