Sweet & Sour Steam-Fry (GF, DF, Vt)

This is a delicious and healthy Chinese-style meal that I got from Patrick Holford's website:
http://www.patrickholford.com/. It lists both chicken and tofu in the ingredients, and you can use both, or one or the other. I used just the tofu this time since I had already had chicken with another meal that week. It's called a steam-fry instead of a stir-fry because of the method used to cook the ingredients, and steam-frying is said to be a healthy way to cook vegetables. What you do is put some oil in a pan to sautee the veggies, then add water to the pan and cover, which allows the steam to cook the food. When everything is cooked you can take off the lid and boil off the rest of the liquid (or you can drain it as well).
