Rice Base

• ▢ 1 cup jasmine rice
• ▢ 1 1/2 cups water
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon salt

Veggie Stir-Fry

• ▢ 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
• ▢ 1 teaspoon canola oil
• ▢ 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• ▢ 2 cups cremini mushrooms sliced
• ▢ 2 carrots sliced

Hoisin-Glazed Tofu

• ▢ 1 teaspoon canola oil
• ▢ 1 block firm tofu
• ▢ 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce and more to drizzle on top (e.g. Flying Goose Brand)

Instructions

 

• Cook the rice on medium heat until all the water is absorbed.
• In a large pan or wok on medium to high heat, add the broccoli florets and a splash of water. Close the lid and let the broccoli cook for a few minutes until softened. Then add the canola oil, soy sauce, cremini mushrooms, and carrots. Stir to combine and let it cook without the lid for a few minutes until the mushrooms are cooked through. Set aside.
• In a second pan on high heat, add the canola oil for the tofu. Cut the tofu in triangles and add them to the pan. Add about 1 teaspoon of hoisin sauce and stir to get the tofu coated.
• Let the tofu pan-fry for about 4 minutes on each side or until it gets golden and crispy.
• Divide the rice into bowls, add the veggies and crispy hoisin-glazed tofu and drizzle with more hoisin sauce. Enjoy!
