Wow. I can't believe I waited so long to try this one! Due to a confusion about allergies, this recipe was never made, but once that was cleard up, I had to give it a try. And I've just noticed this is my first post about a dish which contains tofu. I do use tofu, much more than it seems, I promise! This recipe comes from my Native Foods cookbook. It consists of brown rice topped with steamed vegetables and marinated tofu topped off with a peanut coconut sauce, extra toasted peanuts and red bell pepper. This was so good! And quite simple. The tofu marinated for about 30 min in soy sauce, rice vinegar and garlic, but once that was done the dish was quite quick (especially with a little help from Johan!) I hesitated on the cauliflower because it wasn't the best price, but really glad I didn't! It added great flavor! I followed my friend, Jessie's suggestion to cut back on the vinegar in the sauce a bit, that worked out great. And thankfully, I'm an idiot and accidentally made 3 times as much sauce as it needs! So the rest is in the freezer for next time I make this dish, which will likely be sooner than later. Although it said it was enough for 2 servings, it made 4 for us. Another hit!
