- 1TBSP Arrow Root(To thicken)
- 1/2TBSP Toasted Sesame Seeds(Used to top when serving)
- RICE(Serve over rice)
- 1Package Extra Firm TofuCubed
Instructions
- Start your rice. I prefer a brown basmati rice and always add a lot of garlic to make a garlic rice. Prepare your vegetables by dicing belle pepper and green onion, and peeling garlic cloves.
- Simmer Veggies in a little water. NOTE: Use a little more than half of the green onion, the rest will be used to top when serving.
- Add Pineapple INCLUDING LIQUID from can (important! this adds a lot to the flavor of the sauce), tamari, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes and simmer for 5-7 minutes. You can add broccoli if you would like. You can also add a cubed tofu. I prefer a breaded chick-Un like tofu in the air fryer, but I put the breaded tofu on the rice and spoon the sauce over top.
- Final step is to thicken with arrowroot or cornstarch.
- When serving, top with raw green onion and toasted sesame seeds.
