Stir fried broccoli and cauliflowers with carrots and tofu


This is the dish I cooked to complement the sweet and sour fish. Not only is broccoli and cauliflower low carbo food, they are also great fat burning food! Of course not forgetting that they provide lots of fibre too. This is one of the dish I like to cook when I want lots of fibre.
