Instructions
In a large saucepan over medium heat add in a little bit of water or cooking oil and your garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until fragrant.
Next add in your zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, water chestnuts and tofu and let that cook while we make our sauce.
To make the sauce add all of your sauce ingredients into a bowl and whisk together. Once it is smooth pour over veggies in the saucepan and let cook for 10 minutes stirring frequently (we want the majority of the sauce to be soaked up by the tofu and veggies). At the last minute or so add in your ginger. The best way is to use a microplane and shred it over top.
Once its done place your mixture in a bowl and serve inside of lettuce cups. I like to add rice to this meal to make it more filling as well. Enjoy and tag me on Instagram if you make this i love seeing your creations @highcarbhannah :)
