Stir Fried Vegies with Honey, Soy & Basil Tofu
It’s World Vegetarian Day today and the first day of Vegetarian awareness month
What better way to support such a worthwhile initiative than to make a delicious, quick and easy vegetarian stir fry
Vegetarian meals can be soooo tasty and this stir fry is a good example of a very tasty vegetarian meal that uses tofu as the protein source
I encourage you to try a few new vegetarian meals this month, starting with this delicious stir fry!

Am trying this on the weekend yum! Alison
Fabulous! Let me know how you go 🙂
I will! Making it this week. Miss catching up with you, hope all going well xx
Ok I made this tonight. Very yummy, fresh tasting, lovely! I did have some trouble with the tofu. First time I have cooked it. It stuck to wok a lot. Am thinking maybe I should have a non stick wok? Mine isn’t non-stick. Any tips for having tofu not stick? Loved it. Thanks!
