• Firm tofu, cubed
• Soy sauce
• Cooking oil (vegetable or sesame oil)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Tofu:

4. Combine Tofu and Vegetables:
   • Once the vegetables are cooked, add the tofu back to the pan and toss them together. This allows the flavors to meld.
5. Add Soy Sauce:
   • Pour soy sauce over the tofu and vegetable mixture. The amount of soy sauce can be adjusted to your taste preferences. Toss everything to ensure an even coating.
6. Serve Over Rice:
   • Serve the vegetarian stir-fry over a bed of cooked rice. You can use white rice, brown rice, or any rice of your choice.
7. Optional Garnish:
