Add the sweet bell pepper strips, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the peppers start to become soft but still crisp.

I'm looking forward to trying this with my home-sprouted sprouts! I have a question; is the soy sauce regular or the dark soy which is sweeter and often used in stir-fries, but much sweeter? Just wondering.

You can use either of the soy sauce. Just adjust the amount accordingly. I used regular sauce, and it came out quite tasty!

I cooked this dish for this evening’s dinner....it was very good, but in the instruction it did not say when to put back the tofu into the skillet. I added the tufo last...but I think the recipe should be updated for those who are brand new cook and does not know much about tufo.

Thanks for pointing it out. The tofu cubes should be added back to the pan with the bean sprouts in the end. Adding it back with the seasonings works too. What is great about stir fries is that it is so versatile and flexible.

The recipe never mentions when to add the tofu back to the wok at all
