People always think that vegetarians (such as myself) and vegans don’t get enough protein in their diet. I beg to differ. With a whopping 30 grams of protein, this is just one of many healthy veg recipes that defies that assumption! (Bonus – it’s quick, easy & extremely tasty!) Keep reading for the recipe…
What you’ll need:
- 2 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 c. shelled edamame
- 4.5 oz. of extra firm tofu (approx. 1/3 block)
- 2 oz. rice noodles
- 1 tbs. minced garlic
- Teriyaki sauce (I like Trader Joe’s soyaki)
*Optional add-ins: slivered carrots, sliced peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, pineapple, toasted sesame seeds, grated ginger
Instructions (Serves 1-2)
1. Cut tofu into cubes
2. Heat olive oil in a saute pan and add in tofu, flipping cubes onto a new side approximately every five minutes until all sides are golden brown
3. While tofu is cooking, cook edamame and rice noodles according to package instructions
4. Once everything is fully cooked, mix all ingredients together and drizzle with teriyaki sauce
Pair it with a glass of freshly made carrot ginger juice to complete this exceptionally healthy meal! :)
That looks absolutely delicious. I’ll be making it ASAP.
