Fitness Recipe: Vegan Stir-Fry with Tofu and Vegetables

Have you heard of a dish called stir-fry? It is a method of preparation in which you put all the ingredients in a hot pan with oil and quickly sauté them to make them crunchy. Sounds simple, right? The hardest part is deciding which ingredients to use for your stir-fry. We went for a vegan option this time and used tofu as a main ingredient. We also added vegetables and mushrooms, which give the dish an unmistakable flavour. The result is definitely worth it.

Sauté for 2 minutes and then remove from the heat. The vegetables should still be crisp. And you are done. Then just choose a side dish and serve.

Our tip: The dish tastes great with rice, sesame seeds, coriander and lime. But you can’t go wrong with quinoa or ZERO noodles.
