Comments: Tofu and Vegetable Stir-Fry

I doubled the recipe for the four of us. I also didn't use sherry and added extra vegetables. With the added vegetables we could have used more sauce, but besides that it was a good dish. Abby and Zoë ate this up. Chris, who doesn't typically like tofu, even liked it.
