MARINADE: In a small mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Add
the tofu & let it sit about 15 minutes. VEGETABLES: Meanwhile slice all the
vegetables & prepare the sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a
small mixing bowl. Heat the oil in a wok & fry the marinated tofu until it
is golden on all sides. Remove, place on paper towels & pat dry to remove
excess oil. Pour excess oil out of the wok. Stir fry the vegetables in the
order in which they appear listed above. Be careful not to overcook. At
the last minute, pour the sauce over the cooked vegetables & add the tofu.
Mix gently. Serve over Oriental style noodles. VARIATION: Serve over rice
instead of noodles. *Available at most Asian grocery stores.
