COLOURFUL STIR FRY TOFU PUFFS

A homey, colourful stir fry tofu puff dish that is tasty and delicious.  Very economical to prepare at home for the family.  It is a very healthy dish too, with all the colourful ingredients.
The tofu puffs absorbed the simple seasoning sauce [light soy sauce, oyster sauce] and the aroma is enhanced with the addition of sesame seed oil.
A dish which can be served with rice or porridge.  It would be great to use the recipe to fry noodles like rice vermicelli [beehoon], glass noodles [tanghoon] and any noodles of your choice.

100 gm tofu puffs - soaked in hot boiling water, cooled and squeeze out the water - cut halve diagonally
