1/4 Sweet red pepper, slivered

Tofu supplies the protein, and tastes similar to chicken breasts, in
this quick-to-prepare colorful vegetarian main dish.
Drain tofu, cut into 3/4 inch pieces. Place between layers of paper
towel and weight down with a dinner plate. Let stand 10 minutes to
compress and remove excess water.
Heat oil, 2 tbsp broth and ginger in a frypan. Add celery, onion
and red pepper. Stir cook over medium heat 3 minutes. Add bean
sprouts, continue stir-cooking 1 min.
Stir in remaining broth, soy sauce and tofu. Cook and stir gently
over medium heat until vegetables are tender-crisp, and liquid is
evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Dieting tips
If you enjoy your food, but need to shed a few pounds and also boost your all round healthiness, then you need to start a carefully planned healthy meal plan. In theory, this ought to take in 5 portions of pulses and vegetables daily and involve an appropriate fusion of carbohydrates, fat, and protein.
When deciding on a diet, the most important step is to also try to decrease your ingestion of salt, fats and refined carbohydrate.
When chosing foods for dieting, people frequently direct your attention to supermarket and brand name foods claiming to be 'low in fat'. To do this is most certainly foolish, seeing that a food product might be significantly reduced in fat, but also contain excess carbohydrates.
Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. From time to time at some stage in a normal work day, you imagine you want a snack but actually you only need a refreshing drink of water or juice. The feelings of thirst and hunger are much the same, but one of them can lead to weight gain and one is fine.
Instead of concentrating on the many unhealthy foods you should ban from your dietary regime, direct your attention to the sensible foods that you might want to introduce to your dietary regime. If one can inject some nourishing grains, fruit and vegetables into your daily routine, you will be delighted to find that you feel more full and have a far decreased chance of giving in to those unwholesome mid-afternoon potato chips.
