Tofu Teriyaki

A good meat-less alternative, cubes of tofu, stir-fried with a  mixture of veggies like, peppers, carrots, and kale, and then, tossed together with noodles, makes this a very nutritious and satisfying dish.
This is my own creation but you feel free to add your own favorite veggies to it.
