Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 garlic clove -- peeled and crushed
6 (to 8) green onions -- trimmed and sliced lengthwise
1 tablespoon cornstarch
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 pound tofu -- cut into cubes
3 ounces sugar peas
1 green bell pepper -- seeded and cut into strips
4 leaves Chinese cabbage
8 Swiss chard leaves -- shredded
2 tablespoons cashew nuts -- toasted
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable stock
To serve: cooked pasta to serve 4 people
fresh parsley -- and chervil sprigs

Heat oil in a large wok or skillet. Add ginger, garlic and green onions and stir fry for 1 minute.

Mix cornstarch, salt and pepper. Carefully toss tofu cubes in this mixture.

Add to the skillet and cook on all sides.

Add all the vegetables, nuts, soy sauce and stock and bring to a boil. Boil rapidly 1-2 minutes. Spoon over pasta and serve garnished with the sprigs of parsley and chervil.

Makes 4 servings.

You can use Chinese egg noodles or Italian egg noodles with this Chinese-style stir fried topping. You may substitute Greek Halloumi cheese for the tofu, but add the cheese at the very last minute or it will get too hard. Start the meal with spring rolls or shrimp toasts.
