Grilled Tofu with Gingered Vegetables

This was my dinner last night! This is a one person serving size, a meal fit for just you and allocates a small left over portion. Enjoy with your favorite fresh vegetables. The ones listed below are a kitchen staple and my very favorites for stir fry. This is a quick, healthy and delicious meal. Serve over brown rice!

Did you know the benefits of ginger include aiding nausea, digestive problems, circulation and arthritis? You can cook with ginger or take in a supplement form. Ginger comes in a very unique form. Just cut the outer bark like skin and grate over the wok or skillet. The aroma alone before cooking is wonderful!

Serving Size: 1-2
Ingredients:
- 1/2 container firm organic tofu, cut into cubes
- 1/2 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic (optional)
- 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1/2 large red or green organic pepper, cut into strips
- 1 handful of spinach
- 1/3 cup chopped broccoli
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions:
1. Heat a wok or skillet on medium heat. Add the sesame oil, minced ginger, garlic and onion (optional).
2. Once hot and the ginger and onion is heated and grilled, add the tofu. Cook tofu until browned (1-2 min).
3. Add the soy sauce and vegetables- pepper, broccoli, spinach. Stir well with a bamboo spoon.
4. Cook until spinach is wilted and vegetables are cooked through; approx. 5 minutes.
5. Serve over rice and enjoy!
