Ottawa's Green Door Restaurant's Broccoli-Tofu Stir Fry

Why I Love This Recipe

FEATURING: Carrots, broccoli, sweet pepper, and scallions (or onions). Daikon radish is also good in it! 

This is a recipe my kids love when we take them to The Green Door (which is just across the Main Street Farmers' Market in Ottawa)- which we had the pleasure of going to last week... and bumped into a great family that has been getting our CSA box for a few years now (that was just the cherry on the top)! So I looked for the recipe online and found it: https://teaandink.wordpress.com/2011/02/15/green-door-tofu-and-vegetable-stirfry/

NOTE: If you like this recipe, check out the Green Door's cookbook for more delicious recipes (I believe this recipe is in it too)!

Ingredients You'll Need

1/3 cup olive oil (or less, if you’re like me and not into quasi-deep frying not because you think it’s unhealthy, but because you’re terrified that much hot oil)
1 block of firm tofu, sliced into small cubes (mine are about 1×1 cm, but the Green Door makes them much larger and they just take longer to cook)
1 cup carrots, thinly sliced diagonally
4-5 cups broccoli, cut into florets (approx. 1 broccoli)
1 bunch of green onions (including green parts), cut into 1 inch long pieces (you can also just use 1 onion, chopped fine)
2 sweet peppers, seeded and thinly sliced (red, green or any colour you have)

FOR THE SAUCE:
3/4 cup water, divided
1/4 cup tamari soy sauce
2 tsp fresh grated ginger root
4 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tbsp arrowroot
