Pepper Tofu Dinner

An all-in-one meal - carbs, protein, and veggies in one go.



Ingredients

1 Large Red, Yellow, or Orange Bell Pepper (or a mix of the three), chopped into large pieces
A handful of diced tofu (I use Nasoya extra firm diced tofu)
1 cup cooked rice or pasta
1 tbsp oil
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Ground Pepper

Method

1. Put the chopped bell peppers in a microwaveable container (I use non-plastic), sprinkle water on them, cover loosely, and microwave for 3 minutes.

2. Heat the oil, in a pan, and add the diced tofu. Brown to your taste. Or don't brown, if you prefer that. When the bell peppers are done, add them to the pan and let the skin of some brown slightly if you like - it makes them sweeter. The important thing is to let the tofu and peppers cook together for a minute, so that the tofu absorbs the flavor.

3. Add the pinch of salt, the dash of pepper, and then stir in the rice/pasta. Fry for a minute.
