2. Mix the sliced tofu with the "Egg", cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, nutritional yeast, oats and BBQ sauce.
3. Heat Oil in Wok or a large skillet over med - low heat.
4. Add onions, garlic and ginger and cook for 1+min.
5. Add carrots and tofu mixture. Fry in Wok until heated throughout and desired consistency. About 15+ min. Add seasoning to taste, parsley to decorate. (Opt)
6. Place Quinoa on bottom with tofu on top. For a healthy dessert try a Korean melon on the side! Delicious!
