1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
12 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon sliced garlic
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup vegetable broth

2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 1 pound)

Steps:

In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt and black pepper.
Dredge tofu in the seasoned flour; shake off excess.

Remove tofu to a plate.
Add broth, ginger, soy sauce and sweet potato to the wok and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes, or until potato is just tender.
Return broth to a boil.

Sprinkle with cilantro.
