Tofu Stir Fry

A 'meat free' throw together meal. As usual, one recipe is never repeated quite the same in our household and 'measuring' ingredients isn't a strong point, so the below is just a guide - adjust the quantities to suit your taste buds. The vegetable type and quantity can be altered to suit whatever you have on hand/your preferences. The noodles can be replaced with rice, cous cous or any other carbohydrate of choice. My kids love the noodles and it helps encourage them to eat the rest of the meal! The roasted sesame oil helps to give good flavour to the meal and can be found in most supermarkets. Tofu can be found in the chilled section of the supermarket near the cheese and yoghurts. If you've never cooked with tofu, perhaps now is the perfect chance to try!
