Veggie stir fry


I like making stir fry, when i get bored of cooking Indian food. This is again an easy way to get lots of veggies into one dish. This preparation can be had with steamed rice or cooked noodles.

The ingredients you will need are:
1 block of Tofu
1 bunch spring onion
1/2 red onion
1 carrot
1 small green pepper
10 small broccoli florets
Almonds(optional, coarsely chopped)
Peanuts(optional, coarsely chopped)
Edamame (optional)
Garlic pods 2
Stir fry sauce(like House of Tsang or Chings)

In a wok, put some oil. Add chopped Garlic and sliced onions and saute. Add peanut,Almonds and edamame and continue sauteing. Then add the carrot, green pepper, broccoli and cook under medium flame for about 10 mins.
In a separate flat bottomed pan, put some oil and put the tofu in the form of small cubes..Spread it even, so the oil enables the tofu to become slightly crisp and golden brown. Turn the tofu pieces to brown on all sides.Switch off the flame. Once your veggies in the other pan are cooked to 80%(Dont overcook the veggies for the stir fry, let them be a little crunchy), add the tofu cubes and the Stir fry sauce.
Mix all the ingredients and cook for 5 mins till the sauce gets to a boil.Garnish with spring onions.
Salt is usually added in the sauces, so check the bottle of your stir fry sauce before adding any extra salt.
Now your veggie stir fry is ready to be eaten with rice or noodles.
