One taste of this homemade version of a takeout classic and you’ll never need to order in again. Crunchy chunks of mixed peppers are a black bean classic, but broccoli and sugar snaps are also worth a try. Tofu can sometimes taste bland, but here it takes on the flavour of this mouth-watering sauce beautifully.
