This is a favorite of mine. It's a very quick to prepare meal, and very flavourful. It's usual a guest favorite too!
Black Bean Stirfry (about 3 servings)
2 cups vermicilli noodles, boiled then chopped
1 cup firm tofu, chopped *and pre-fried
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
6 white mushrooms, chopped or sliced
1 bunch broccoli, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh ginger root, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 Tbsp coriander
black bean sauce
*I suggest lightly pre-frying your tofu for about 3 minutes in blackbean sauce before adding to the stirfry.
1. Boil noodles with water in saucepan, drain and cool, chop and set aside.
2. Heat oil in pan or wok for 30 seconds, then add onion, mushrooms, and garlic.
3. Simmer on medium-low until soft and onions begin to lose opaqueness. About 3-5 minutes.
4. Stir in carrot, brocolli, green onion, ginger, and any other fresh veggies you have chosen.
5. Change heat to medium. Add a good amount of sauce into the pan and stir well. Cook for 3-5 minutes.
6. Stir in tofu, noodles, and coriander. Cover the pan, and lower heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
7. uncover pan, and optionally feel free to cook for a few extra minutes to lose some of the extra moisture.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Essential detail missing: which black bean sauce? Do you have a preferred brand? I've never looked for some, but that's silly of me because it sounds delicious!!
get one that isn't one of special GARLIC-BLACKBEAN sauce.. because those are incredibly extra garlic tasting. just get a regular black bean sauce, you can find it in the asian foods section at most grocers. you can make black bean sauces homemade. try and dig up a recipe or i'll try and find one, soon. i LOVE blackbean sauce for stirfrys and tofus.
