Bacon and tofu stir-fry

There are different kinds of tofu. The Dried Tofu in this stir fry recipe is pressed tofu soaked in soy sauce, giving it a meaty texture and a slightly salty taste.

It holds up well when cooked for a long time and is great at absorbing the flavors of the other ingredients, making it perfect for stir fry.

You can find this type of tofu at Chinese grocery stores in the tofu section, typically packaged in plastic bags.
