Stir-fried Tofu in Ginger Sauce
'Stir fry' is an old cooking technique, most often using soy sauce and seen in Asian cooking. Tofu is rich in nutritional benefits such as B-vitamins, easily digestible proteins, isoflavones, and calcium. Zingiber officinal, or ginger, is a creeping perennial, indigenous to tropical areas such as Asia and Jamaica. Ginger is noted as having antioxidant properties and it is also used to prevent or stop nausea.

1 cup extra-firm tofu
¾ cup soy sauce
¾ cup lemon juice
2 tsp grated fresh ginger root

1 cup cauliflower florets
1 cup broccoli florets
3 carrots, cut into 6 cm strips
1 medium sliced onion
1 sliced green pepper
1 cup snow peas
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 chopped spring onions
2 cups boiled rice
Cooking Instructions
- Mix the soy sauce, lemon juice and ginger together into a marinade.
