Cooking from scratch is healthy, fun, and self-empowering. You decide what ingredients to use. My recipes feature lots of vegetables, spices, beans, whole grains, tofu, baked goods and desserts. All so tasty you won’t miss the meat, eggs or dairy. I do try to keep it healthy. I veer off-topic from time to time for reviews and things that catch my interest.

Karen's Teriyaki Rice Bowl
Do you ever buy Amy's Teriyaki Rice Bowl in the frozen health food section? For close to $5? I loved it but thought the price tag outrageous considering its ingredients: rice, tofu, broccoli and seasoning. When I make this, I divvy it up in individual serving freezer containers. Makes about 4 servings.
Ingredients
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 pound firm tofu, drained and diced
2-3 cloves of garlic, diced
1 inch chunk of fresh ginger, diced
2 bunches of broccoli, chopped and nuked for about 3 minutes
1 red or orange bell pepper
teriyaki sauce (see below)
Teriyaki Sauce
1/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 cup soy sauce (or Shoyu)
1/4 cup dry cooking sherry
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Combine ingredients in small saucepan and bring to a boil. Gently simmer for a couple of minutes.
Directions
Cook rice in rice cooker. I use 2 cups of water. While rice is cooking, saute tofu with garlic and ginger for around 5 minutes on medium high heat, lightly browning. Add sliced bell pepper and continue cooking for around 5 more minutes. Time is not critical, I just like everything semi cooked; it's going to go straight in the freezer. Add cooked broccoli, rice and teriyaki sauce. Mix well and divvy up the portions into freezer containers. Enjoy later!
