Cilantro Ginger Tofu Toss

Small adaptation to a yummy vegan recipe from How it All Vegan, 10th Anniv Ed. Very healthy and a good meatless protein source if you use high protein tofu like I do. Any extra firm tofu works though. You need a large, wide pan for this.

• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  bunch cilantro
• 1  tomatoes, roughly chopped
