Tofu medley

My dear husband has become a fan of this really simple asian dish, mainly because it is super nutritious and tastes wonderful with some hot-sweet asian sauce.

Ingredients:

1 small bell pepper (cut into small cubes)
1-2 zucchini (cut into small cubes)
2-3 green onions (chopped)
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
a handful of spinach
1/2 ounce tofu (cut into small cubes)
3-4 cloves of garlic (minced)
salt to taste
ground pepper to taste

Preparation:

Steam all the frozen vegetables in the microwave or on the cooking range.
Take 1 tbsp evoo in a fry pan and add the zucchini, bell pepper and green onions to the pan. Roast the vegetables until cooked and slightly brown.
Add some spinach and the minced garlic to the mixture. Add salt to taste.
Add roasted tofu (or plain cut tofu) and the steamed vegetables to the pan. Add ground black pepper to taste.
Add 1 tbsp hot-sweet asian sauce to the mixture (optional.. tastes quite good).
Mix the contents and serve with some boiled noodles with some soy sauce (acts as salt+oil substitute), pepper (optionally mixed with sauted grated cabbage, carrots, green onions)

yumm.....
