Scallion and Ginger Chicken (Stir-Fry) image

Arriving home late (again) I needed something that was quick, simple yet full of satisfying flavors. This recipe modified from another site did the trick. When I made this I added two medium zucchini, halved and sliced, and cooked them just after the chicken and before the sauce. Made this a complete meal.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken in this stir-fry. It turned out really well! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
