Ingredients
Stir-fry
- 1 cup brown rice uncooked
- 10 oz tofu firm
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 small red onion chopped
- 1 large carrot chopped into matchsticks
- ¼ medium red cabbage chopped
- 5 oz snow peas
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- sesame seeds to serve
Almond sauce
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 2 tbsp plant-based milk
Instructions
- Cook the brown rice according to packaging instructions. This usually takes around 25 minutes.
- Combine the sauce ingredients (tamari, date syrup, almond butter and plant milk) in a bowl. Add the tofu and set aside for 5-10 minutes.
- Heat the sesame oil in a wok or frying pan over a medium-high head. Add the tofu and cook for 5-6 minutes, until golden brown on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Add the onion and the garlic to the same frying pan and cook on a medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, until translucent. Then, add the carrots, cabbage and snow peas with around a quarter cup water, garlic powder, tamari and rice vinegar. Cook for a further 5 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.
- At the last minute, stir in the cooked brown rice and the tofu. Serve immediately, or store in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
