We all know that increasing our intake of vegetables is an important step in improving our health. But sometimes we do need to be convinced to leave out the meat entirely. Well, this recipe will convince you. We've replaced meat with tofu and added shiitake mushrooms, red peppers, and bok choy so you are not losing out on texture or flavor, but you are gaining in the good-for-you stakes.

This is great. I use tofu a lot. I do not care as much for meat as the average person, I do eat it, but the guy next to me will eat 4 times what I do. And this is great!!!!
