INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tbs coconut oil
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp tumeric powder
  • 2 heads baby bok choy trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces including stems
  • 1/2 lb mushrooms
  • black pepper to taste
  • salt to taste
  • 8 oz of extra firm tofu
  • 1/2 cup brown rice

PREPARATION

  1. Cook brown rice according to package.

  3. Cut tofu into 1/2 inch pieces.

Let it warm up for 30 seconds or so and then add tofu spreading it evenly in the pan. The tofu should sizzle when added. Leave the tofu undisturbed until it begins to brown about 7 minutes.
