Five Spice Tofu

I've said several times before how much my family loves to grill, and how I often try to get them to expand their grilling repertoire. This is one of those times, and the results were delicious!

Five Spice Tofu

3 T. tamari
2 T. lime juice
2 T. mirin
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 T. sriracha (check ingredients, some brands aren't vegan)
1-1/2 t. dark brown sugar
1 t. five spice powder
One package extra firm tofu, frozen, thawed in boiling water, pressed, and sliced

Add all the ingredients to a gallon sized ziploc baggie and wiggle around the coat the tofu well. Refrigerate overnight. Grill on a lightly oiled grill, cooking about 5 minutes per side.

Make an extra batch of the marinade to brush over the tofu as it grills.

Serve. Enjoy!

Jazzy Rice

I love rice. It is so easy to make and there are so many things you can add to it. It never gets boring!

Jazzy Rice

4 c. cooked jasmine rice
1 T. olive oil
1 T. grated fresh ginger
One 15 oz. can mixed vegetables, drained
2 T. tamari
1/2 t. brown sugar
1/2 c. chopped cashew nuts

Cook the ginger in the olive oil until it is fragrant, maybe 30 seconds. Add the vegetables and rice and mix well. Add tamari and sugar and stir fry until everything is mixed well and heated through. Serve with a sprinkling of the cashews on top.

Enjoy!
