I'd love to make it at home but I don't have much experience cooking stir fries and need some advice. The menu calls it something like "tofu and mixed vegetables with lemon, soy sauce, and sesame." It never tastes very lemony, and is sprinkled with so many sesame seeds (mmmm!) that I don't know if it really has much sesame oil in it at all. I would imagine that it has garlic and ginger in it but I'm not sure. OK. so I know how to fry the tofu and cook the vegetables--I'm just at a loss about how to season the dish. I was thinking about cooking the tofu & vegetables and then just sprinkling it all with a little lemon, soy, and sesame oil until it tastes good. Can someone suggest a better technique/recipe that includes lemon, soy, and sesame?

Of course, adjust to your taste. Set aside. Stir fry some garlic and ginger, then add veg and tofu. Pour sauce over and stir fry to combine. Make a slurry of cornstarch and white wine (or veg. stock) and make a well in center of tofu/veg mixture. Pour in slurry and stir fry until thickened.

Could the lemon ingredient really be lemon grass? Sun Mar 11 10:36:34 -0700 2007 2374391 11977 ChiliDude 1 2375397 No! It's a vegan/vegetarian restaurant, definitely not lemongrass.
