STIR FRY TOFU WITH MUSHROOMS

This savoury tofu dish recipe is from Irene Yong [you-tube]  which is easy to prepare yet delicious and healthy.  Thanks to Irene for sharing her recipes on  vegetarian dishes.
Meatless dish, though but it is rich in protein from the tofu and mushrooms as it contain substantial nutrients, enzymes, vitamins.  Mushrooms are excellent sources of antioxidants and selenium.

A delicious vegetarian dish, great with rice or porridge.  The vegetables [carrots and capsicum] are sweet while the tofu absorbs the flavours of the seasoning.
