Tofu Vegetable Stir-Fry

This is nutritionally packed. As it stands it is a healthy meal, loaded with vitamins, but If you use brown rice instead of white, you will enrich the meal even more and add lots of fiber and those important B vitamins.

• 1 small onion, sliced
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium red pepper, seeded and julienned
• 1 large carrot, julienned
