Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz. block extra firm tofu drained, pressed and cubed
  • 1-2 tbsps olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bag cauliflower stir-fry (with sauce) (about 2 cups)
  • 1 pouch steam-in-the-bag brown rice (about 1 cup)
  • sliced scallions (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silpat
  • Toss cubed tofu with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes (flipping halfway through for even browning)
  • With ~5 minutes left of cooking for the tofu, microwave the rice then start cooking the cauliflower according to package instructions (I recommend using the stovetop method).
  • Toss the rice and cooked tofu into the pan with the riced cauliflower and toss to combine, cooking another minute or two until all the flavors have melded.
  • Serve, topping with sliced scallions and additional salt/pepper as desired.

Notes

  • I don’t do a lot of measuring when I cook, so most ingredient and serving size amounts in my recipes are approximations.  Have fun with it and make it your own!
