This is a delicious vegetable side dish. I usually prepare a flat rice noodle with this dish and place the vegetable mixture on top. Note: I thought this picture was so cute I just had to include it ;-)

I'm sorry, I clicked the wrong rating for you, I wish I could change it. I'm planning to make this recipe this evening. It's simple and quick and I have some tofu that needs using. Thanks for this.

Edit: I marinated the tofu in tahini and rice wine vinegar. I loved this dish and will make it again.
