100 Ulam Challenge 1: Stir Fried Bean Sprouts with Tofu And Carrots

Everybody is very much affected by the pandemic.  I have lost my job and is now based at home attending to most of the household duties including the budget and meals.  It is essential nowadays to tighten the belt and maximize our money's worth.  I have decided to do a 100 Pesos Ulam (Meal) Challenge to see how far I can go and the recipes I can create.  Since it's only dinner time that I get to sit down with my partner to have a meal, all of the dishes are designed to cater to 2 persons. Here's my 1st attempt.

 250 grams Firm Tofu (30 pesos) Sliced or Cubed
