Protein pack: Vegan, Gluten free rice with tofu



A delicious, healthy, and protein-rich tofu rice dish — so simple to make and perfect for any day!

Ingredients

• 1 pack firm tofu (350 g), cut into short strips
• ¼ cup tamari (gluten-free) or soy sauce
• 1 tbsp avocado oil
• 2 cups rice
• 4 cups filtered water
• 1 tbsp turmeric
• 1 cup baby spinach leaves
• Optional: salt, if needed
  
  

Instructions

1. Cook the tofu:
   Sauté the tofu in the tamari or soy sauce for a couple of minutes.
   Set aside.
2. Prepare the rice:
   In a wide pot, heat the avocado oil and sauté the rice for 2 minutes.
   Add the turmeric and mix well.
   Pour in the water, cover, and bring to a boil.
3. Simmer:
   Reduce to low heat and cook (covered) until all the water is absorbed and the rice is fully cooked.
4. Combine:
   Add the sautéed tofu and the baby spinach on top of the rice.
   Mix well.
   Taste — you may not need additional salt, as tamari/soy sauce is usually salty enough.
5. Final cook:
   Let everything cook together for 1 more minute to warm through and soften the spinach.
   
   

Enjoy!
