This recipe calls for marinating the tofu overnight so plan ahead
A simple recipe for an easy Chinese-style vegetarian and vegan stir fry with tofu in a light ginger sauce. Feel free to add in whatever vegetables you happen to have on hand, just about any kind of veggie will work for this quick and easy stir-fry recipe. You could also omit the tofu, or use seitan or tempeh instead. Blanch the vegetables ahead of time to retain vibrant colors and do not over saturate the vegetables with oil when stir frying.
