Ingredients
    1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    12 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1-inch chunks
    1 tablespoon sliced garlic
    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1 cup vegetable broth
    1/4 cup slivered crystallized ginger
    2 teaspoons soy sauce
    1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 1 pound)
    1 green pepper, sliced into 1/8-inch wedges

Preparation
    In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt and black pepper.
    Dredge tofu in the seasoned flour; shake off excess.

    Remove tofu to a plate.
    Add broth, ginger, soy sauce and sweet potato to the wok and bring to a boil.
    Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes, or until potato is just tender.
    Return broth to a boil.
    Add green pepper and tofu and cook, stirring, 2 minutes or until tofu is just cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly.
    Sprinkle with cilantro.
