Silken tofu and bell pepper sauce

The left-over bell peppers after I cooked the stir-fried prawns and peppers were used to make this vegetarian dish. Now I like peppers so much that whenever I see fresh and firm new peppers at supermarkets I will buy some and preserve them in my fridge. Luckily, bell peppers can be preserved for a quite a long time in the fridge, they do not get stale very quickly. 

This is a vegetarian food which is fresh and colorful. Whenever I cook bell peppers using all three colors, I love the dish as it looks lively and bright.
