21 Day Vegan Challenge, Day 5 Recipe

For day 5 I made a tofu and vegetable stir-fry with a peanut sauce.

1 lb tofu, cubed
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
~2 cups peas
ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
~1/2 cup peanuts, roughly chopped
3 Tbsp peanut butter
~5 Tbsp water
2-3 tsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari
olive oil

Pan-fry the tofu in a non-stick skillet pan until the tofu is lightly browned. 
In a wok or large fry pan, add oil and stir-fry the onion, peas, and carrots until the onion is translucent.
In a small sauce-pan, add some oil, garlic and ginger.  Cook for a minute or two, then add the peanut butter, water, lemon juice, and soy sauce.  Stir well, until the mixture is smooth.
Add the tofu to the veggies in the wok, pour the peanut sauce on top.
Serve over rice.

Sage looked at this and said, "I don't like this!"  When he says this I ask him to try a few bits and if he doesn't like it, then he doesn't have to finish it.  Usually, his plate gets emptied.  That was not the case for this dish, but he did eat half of what I gave him.
This dish is really rich and filling, so I think he just got filled up sooner than normal.
Enjoy!

P.S.  I would love to hear some of your amazing vegan dishes.  Please share.
