tofu bites and rice

lately i've been working on this one meal a week plan and then adjusting it every night so i don't get bored out of my mind. except i'm one to talk about getting bored, i've been eating the same honey nut cheerios for breakfast and a peanut butter sandwich for lunch for way too long now. it's tasty what can i say.

anyway, this week i thought i'd experiment with tofu! originally i was disappointed when we went grocery shopping and i couldn't find any but then I found some at crossroads on campus so everything is fine and dandy. last night i just made pineapple rice and a few tofu bites for lack of time. overnight i let more tofu marinate so i ate that along with leftover rice and added spinach for some green. fruit, veggie, grain, protein... good planning on my part. the tofu is excellent. i didn't really follow any recipe for it though. drained the tofu and then just mixed up soy sauce, sesame oil and apple cider vinegar and then let the tofu sit in the mixture for a while before sautéing. pineapple rice was stolen from the traditional black bean burgers and pineapple rice dinner from home :) minus cilantro because i was lacking in that department.

looks pretty tasty, huh? and there is enough for the rest of the week now that's what i call planning ahead.

Looks terrific. Your tofu browned up nicely. The vinegar is an interesting add to the marinade. I might think it could dissolve the tofu, but clearly didn't. Wish we were there to taste.
