Tofu, Bok Choy & Shitake Mushroom Stir Fry!i

I have been a vegetarian for a year and a half, and have never cooked with tofu. I'll eat it when we go out, but I was never sure what to do with it! So I decided tonight to give it a try. AAAAMAZING! I will for sure be making this again! It is to DIE for. The sauce is just so perfect!

Not the greatest pic, I was in too much of a hurry to eat this, it smelled so good!
