Stir Fried Tofu and Vegetables

Submitted by Chef Moonfrog

"Tofu, garlic and oyster sauce when combined make a truly asian taste. Although similar to the popular Chinese dish of vegetable lohan, this comes with very little gravy if at all and gives tofu a bit of a face lift. I'm sharing this recipe as I have concocted this on my own and seems to be appreciated even by my young kids despite the addition of tofu!"
