Green Vegetables and Tofu Stir-fry

The taste of plain tofu is not a taste that makes us jump with joy, but when given a little love in this vegetable stir-fry recipe, it becomes very interesting. The best way to make it tasty is to let it sit in a marinade. The longer it marinates, the tastier it will be! Even after 1 hour it will have absorbed many flavors.
