This colourful, crunchy and nutritious rainbow stir-fry is ready in 15 minutes. In it are an array of different coloured vegetables (hence the ‘rainbow’!), shop-bought ready-cooked tofu (which could be supplemented with cooked chicken, prawns, halloumi cubes, chopped cooked meat/veggie sausages or nuts) and a sauce made of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic and honey. The dish is topped with sesame seeds for extra prettiness and texture. Yum!
Don’t worry if you don’t have sesame oil as you can use any oil. And feel free to experiment with other veg – mushrooms, broccoli, green beans and carrots would also work well. Eat with noodles or rice.
