青椒豆腐干 Green Pepper and Tofu Stir Fry

Pinyin: Qīn Jiāo Dòu Fǔ Gān

I used to consider green peppers in the same category as brusssel sprouts, and that's the category of absolutely disgusting vegetables to be avoided at all costs, but lately I haven't been so repulsed by them.

For instance this dish is vegetarian seeing as how it's just got peppers and tofu, and I actually like it. It's got some spicy red peppers in there, but that's just for a little flavor it's not sweating spicy.

The particular tofu used in this dish is called dou fu gan (豆腐干). It's basically pressed and dried, or dried and pressed. This tofu isn't "mushy" like some people think of tofu and it's really quite useful in stir fry dishes and the like.
