Tofu is a great alternative to meat and has many health benefits. It provides 44% of daily calcium needs, 9% of magnesium, and 40% of iron. (Source)

Serves 2
You will need: 1 14-ounce package firm or extra firm tofu1 cups roughly chopped green beans1 large carrot 1 red pepper1/2 cup mushroomssauce (wok sauce, soya sauce e.t.c)Noodles or rice

Step 1:

Marinate the tofu by slicing it into thin slices, drying it on a clean tea towel and placing in a wok on a low heat with a chosen sauce (I used wok sauce, but you can use anything soya e.t.c)

Step 2:

Slice your chosen vegetables into strips, I used carrots, red peppers, green beans and mushrooms but pretty much any vegetables work!

Step 3:

Heat up a small amount of oil and add the vegetables and cook for 5-7 minutes until they soften a little

Step 4:

Cut the tofu into small cubes then add to the pan with the vegetables and cook for a further 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are at your desired softness ( I prefer them crunchy!)

Step 5:
