Another Recipe

[Guest guest]

Here's another one of my favourites (my parrots love this one, too -

Merlin's talking to his serving right now.) Sorry to be sending so many

all at once - I'm going through my recipes and keep finding more!

 

 

Tofu Rice Salad

 

Ingredients:

 

* 4 cups cooked brown rice or a combination of brown and wild rice

* 1 package 300g extra firm regular tofu

* 4 cups chopped vegetables, such as broccoli, peppers, snow peas,

bean sprouts

* 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped green onions

* 1/3 cup rice vinegar

* 1/4 cup olive oil, or a combination of olive and sesame oil

* 1/2 bottle Schezuan, teriyaki, or other Asian sauce or a

combination of soy sauce, fresh

* grated ginger, garlic, and cayenne pepper

* salt & pepper to taste

 

Directions:

 

Cut tofu into bite sized chunks, and marinate in bottled sauce or the

soy sauce/ginger/garlic/cayenne pepper or chilli paste (exclude the

cayenne or chilli paste if you don't like it hot.) I like to marinate

overnight, but an hour or so will do.

 

Cook brown rice (enough so that you will end up with 4 cups.)

 

Steam harder vegetables like broccoli, carrots, etc, until tender crisp

- don't over steam! Peppers and bean sprouts are best raw.

 

Mix vinegar and oil.

 

Mix everything together, and add salt & pepper to taste.

 

Tip - if using bottled sauce, add some grated ginger, chilli flakes, and

fresh crushed garlic to the oil & vinegar - it adds much more flavor.

 

Refrigerate until cold. This salad is even better if made the day before.

 

Serves: 8'ish

 

Preparation time: 1 hour
