In part 1 of this 3 part mini Chinese
vegetarian food series we made carrot asparagus soup.
Now we go on to make the vegetarian stir fry recipe
- tofu stir fry onions.
In Chinese vegetarian food and cooking,
tofu is one of the most commonly used "meat replacement"
ingredient. Made from soy, tofu is an excellent source
of protein - without all the saturated fat of meats.
There are several types of tofu. The kind we will
use for stir frying is firm tofu, or pressed tofu.
