Ginger Stir Fry

We love a quick and easy stir fry for dinner that uses lots of fresh veggies and flavors. This recipe could be made with any combo of veggies. We chose snap peas, yellow bell pepper and broccoli. Also for those of you who eat meat, feel free to substitute a lean meat like chicken for the tofu.
