1 large carrot, peeled, cut into thin strips
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced

Heat peanut oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and stir 30 seconds. Add broccoli, carrot and celery and sauté 5 minutes. Add white parts of green onions, zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper and Sherry and sauté until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes longer. Add tofu and stir gently until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
