Who knew that the food in the back of your cupboard could turn into a meal for days?

Hey guys! I've been thinking about new simple recipes and this one got me. I need lunch for tomorrow also so... why not something that's quick, cheap, easy and simple to pack up?

What you'll need:
  • Rice (I used whole grain)
  • Bok Choi
  • Green and red peppers
  • Tofu
  • Olive Oil & Canola Oil
  • Braggs Soy Sauce

Get out a pot that you think can hold one cup of rice and two cups of water. I think you get the picture there! For every one cup of rice, use two cups of water. Put two cups of water in the pot on the stove and wait until it boils. When it boils, set one cup of rice into the water, turn heat down to simmer and cover with a top.

       Time for one of my favorite vegetables!! Cut the butt (the end of the bok choi) off of the vegetable and scrub any dirt off with warm water. Cut the bok choi in half vertically and place in a pot, filling the pot half way with water. Put the pot on the stove and set heat for medium to low simmer. Cover with top.

       Cut up the peppers any way you want. Coat the bottom generously with olive oil and place the peppers in. Cut the tofu into cubes, and place those in too.

Check on the bok choy! To see if it's ready, take a fork and see if you can stick it through. If you feel any hardness to the vegetable, leave it on for about 5-10 more minutes until soft and stab-able.

Check the rice and see if its ready! If all of the water is absorbed by the rice, taste to test! If still a bit hard and all water is absorbed, add less than 1/4th cup water. Cover back with top.

Stir the peppers and tofu together until the green peppers turn a bit brown and are also stab-able and soft. Turn everything off when done.



       Mix together in a bowl and add a decent amount of braggs. Taste to test. Add 1/3rd cup olive oil and 1/3rd cup canola oil, serve while hot and enjoy!!

Hope you enjoy this quick meal for days!
