Brown Rice Stir-Fry With Flavored Tofu and Vegetables image

I found this in Martha Stewart's "Body + Soul" magazine. I was looking for something else, when I saw this - she highlights 5 meals that are healthy and good for you - this was Friday's meal. Haven't tried this as yet but the combination of ingredients sounded so good that I posted it here for safekeeping and also as a request.

I had some trouble finding flavored tofu at my local grocery store, but I used regular tofu and it turned out great.
