Tofu and Vegetables Stir Fry

Of late I've been trying to make really easy recipes to make my life a bit easier J .My previous recipe was a quick no cook/bake dessert and this time I've followed that up with an easy Tofu dish that makes for a great weeknight meal with noodles or rice.

Tofu is very delicate and tends to break-up many-a-times, but if you brown it in a little bit of oil, it holds it shape much better in my opinion.I also buy extra firm tofu for my stir fries and squeeze out all the water before working with it.

The sauce that I've made here is extremely easy with the main ingredient being this Chilli Garlic sauce that I picked up at a Korean Store. I've made the same recipe with chicken strips for a different variation and it came out delicious.You could use it for any stir fry for that spicy garlicky heat!

It has just the perfect amount of heat and spice and its very similar to the Indo Chinese preparations served in Indian restaurants without any effort literally.My kids also love it as much as we do and I make it all the time!It could easily pass off as one of my best Tofu dishes J
