Is this tofu stir fry vegan?

No, the recipe isn't vegan because it contains honey. If you’d like to make it vegan, simply substitute granulated sugar in place of the honey. Because honey tastes sweeter than sugar, use 2½ to 3 tablespoons of sugar to yield the same sweetness you get from 2 tablespoons of honey.

No, this dish isn't gluten-free because it contains soy sauce. To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari .

How long does tofu last?

Packaged tofu will have a sell by date stamped on the packaging. I usually use that date as a general guideline for when to use by. If the tofu you are using has been opened already, it should last 3 to 5 days, refrigerated and submerged in water.
