Comfort Food: This is one of those recipes.


Amazing Ginger Rice

I have to say, that when I started to make this recipe it was a real hit around my house. This is one of those recipes that my friends and family ask for when I haven't make it for a while. I hope it becomes a staple around your house too.

Marinade for the Tofu
½ cup peeled and diced fresh ginger
½ cup braggs liquid seasoning
2 tbs olive oil

!/2 a large package of extra firm tofu – diced into ½ inch square cubes

Combine ginger, oil, tofu and braggs together into a container with a sealed lid
Shake once sealed and refrigerate, shake when ever you go into the fridge ….  (great to combine and let marinate over night  ….. so it’s ready for cooking when you get home from work)

Prepare Brown Rice as usual in a sauce pan and set aside
(or left over plane rice you have made ahead or from your meal yesterday)

Ingredients
1 cup brown rice or brown rice with wild rice mixed (precooked)
2 cups distilled water
Marinade mixture (pre-made as above)
1 medium size onion
1 tablespoon fresh garlic
½ cup walnuts


Directions
In a high sided skillet, heat Olive oil and diced onion, add garlic when onion starts to get translucent. 
Now add nuts till they are starting to brown
Then add the marinated Tofu.   Stir to mix
Add the cooked rice to the pan and stir
Cover pan with lid, till rice has warmed all the way through
Drizzle the marinade from the tofu, add a little at a time as you taste.


Enjoy this lovely rice and serve with salad and other vegetable dishes to create a wonderful meal.
