I try and always use mushroom and at least one leafy green in this ginger garlic tofu stir fry to make sure I’m getting a good mix of veggies but I also often throw veggies like carrot or baby corn into the mix as well. Whatever you have on hand will work! I also often use brown rice as the base instead of the noodles, although I do love using noodles whenever I can!

For such a quick and easy meal it doesn’t skimp on flavour or textures plus it’s nice and healthy too, which is why I make it so often!
