Instructions
- Cook the brown rice: Combine rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is fully cooked, about 20 minutes. Add the broccoli to the pot, cover with the lid, and cook until steamed and tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a fry pan over medium heat. Add the tofu, cooking for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Add the soya sauce, cooking until it has evaporated. Then remove tofu from the pan and set aside.
- Make the peanut sauce: combine peanut butter, garlic, ginger, soya sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, and hot sauce in a blender. Add water, blending until smooth.
- Assemble: add rice to a bowl, top with broccoli, tofu, carrot, and cabbage. Drizzle with peanut sauce and garnish with cilantro, onion, and shredded coconut.
this meal was delicious! It says “lunch” but it was plenty for our dinner. The peanut sauce was liquidy so maybe 1/2 lime instead of one. We added more peanut butter to thicken it.
So glad you enjoyed it, Patty, and that’s great you made the sauce thicker to suit your taste! 🥜
