You'll find some of the most versatile vegetables simmering in a pot of thick Irish beer that, when thickened with flour and sweetened with a bit of brown sugar and soy sauce, becomes a rich and flavorful stew. Serve when it's cold or when you're looking for a hearty stew that will satisfy vegetarian and non-vegetarians alike! Make sure to get the regular beer, not stout!

Tips:

For a richer flavor, marinate the tofu in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Use a variety of vegetables in your stew, such as carrots, celery, potatoes, and onions. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, broccoli, or mushrooms.
If you want a thicker stew, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the stew and cook until thickened.
Serve the stew over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
