So good! I added red pepper flakes to the marinade and only marinated the tofu. I also added some haricot verts when I blanched the carrots and broccoli. I didn't use the baby corn as my DH doesn't like it. I also used sugar snap peas rather than snow peas just because we like them better. I think the next time I make this I will try extra firm Tofu although we didn't have a problem with the firm. This is going in my "Tried & True" file. Definite repeater.
