fried tofu.  Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan or wok until hot,
add the  pepper and the onions and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until
beginning  to soften.  Meanwhile combine the cornflour, soy sauce,
sherry, sugar and water,  and add to the vegetables. Continue to cook
for a further 1-2  minutes, stirring until thickened.  Add the sesame
seeds and the tofu and heat gently for 2 minutes.  Cook the noodles

the tofu mixture.  Converted by MC_Buster.  NOTES : A delicious
vegetarian dish to serve on its own or as part of  a complete Chinese
meal. Made from soya milk in a similar process to  cheese-making, tofu
is a natural vegetable product that is high in  protein and calcium and
low in fat. It is extremely versatile and can  be stir-fried, grilled,
barbecued and marinated. If you freeze tofu  and then defrost it, it
becomes firmer and chewier with a more  'meaty' texture.  Converted by
