  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.
