Cashew-topped tofu & vegetable stir fry recipe

I had some old cans of water chestnuts and baby corn sitting in my cupboard this morning and I thought ‘How could I use these to make something different?’ I was tired of the usual chicken stir-fries I had made in the past. So when I was at Wegman’s this morning, I picked up some extra-firm tofu and came home with this tofu stir-fry recipe in mind. It is so easy to prepare and tastes authentically delicious! Yes, I said authentically delicious.
