Tofu & Green Onion Stir-fry

Submitted by Bergy

"Lovely way to serve tofu. I like to use both the garlic and the peppers to spice up the dish. Tofu really has no flavor on it's own but it picks up any flavor that it is mixed with. I also often use a spicy Szechuan sauce instead of the soy..This is great served with brown or white rice and other stir fried veggies, you may even add some additional veggies to the tofu pan for last minute cooking - the veggies must be left crisp. The time noted does not include the hour needed to drain the tofu"

I really liked this recipe. It was quick and easy and tasted great. I used a but more garlic than it called for, but then again, I always do. The leftovers reheated quite nicely

This recipe was easy to make and delicious. It really tastes like something you could order at a Chinese restaurant. We had it over rice... I think brown rice would be even better.
