Thread: Tofu Vegetable Stir-Fry

I love stir fry vegetables and sometimes I add meat to eat. However, if I want a lower calorie meal, I go for tofu instead of meat. It's still a delicious and very satisfying meal. I got this recipe off canadianliving and I want to share it with you all to enjoy. Keep staying healthy and eat well

Ingredients

1/4 cup (50 mL) sodium-reduced soy sauce
1 tbsp (15 mL) rice vinegar
1 tbsp (15 mL) hoisin sauce
2 tsp (10 mL) cornstarch
1 pkg extra-firm tofu
2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) gingerroot, minced
1 pinch hot pepper flakes
2 carrots, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) sliced & stemmed shiitake mushroom caps
1 cup (250 mL) snow peas, trimmed and cut diagonally in half
2 green onions, thinly sliced
