Vegetable Tofu Lo Mein


 
One of my favorite quick meals.  I get pre-cooked, seasoned tofu and chopped veggies off the salad bar at the supermarket to make it a lot easier.  I like to use brown rice spaghetti just because that's what I usually have at home but you can also use any of those Asian noodles.  I use about 2 oz. spaghetti, which is one serving, to make two servings of this dish becuse I prefer to load it up with veggies and tofu rather than pasta but go ahead and add more if you like.
