Scallion Stir-Fried Tofu

This savory Vegetarian Chicken Stir-Fry is a quick, flavorful dish that brings together tender bean-based vegetarian chicken, crisp green peppers, and aromatic scallions for a delicious plant-based meal.

Stir-fried to perfection, the vegetarian chicken develops a lightly browned texture, complemented by the freshness of scallions and the mild heat of green peppers. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish is both nutritious and satisfying, offering a meat-free alternative without sacrificing taste.
