  4. Add remaining oil to pan.
  5. Add vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes.

Nutrition Tip

Tofu is made from soybeans and makes a great substitute for meat. Some tofu is fortified with calcium and vitamin D, important for bone health. Firm tofu is often best for stir-fry dishes while silken or soft tofu can be a healthy protein boost for smoothies.
