Spicy Tofu/Prawn Stir Fry image

This recipe is delicious for veggy and meat lovers alike. The original recipe was with chicken and prawn, but I substituted the tofu for the chicken for the sake of my vegitarian daughter....who loves you Annie?? Got the recipe from a friend who had totally deviated from the original recipe in the cookbook., some ingredients she multiplied by 6! I get everything sliced and diced and prepared first, makes for less hecticness (is that a word??) at cooking time. On a side note there is lots of sauce to this recipe so if you want to add more veggies, go for it!! (Tastes even better the next day)
