Pepper Steak

Vegan Rice

Peas

Vegan Cabbage

Method

Pepper Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant. Add the bell peppers and cook until slightly tender.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    Add the cubed tofu to the pan. Pour in soy sauce, vegetable broth, black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir gently to coat the tofu and vegetables in the sauce.

  4. 4

    Thicken the Sauce

    Mix cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry. Add this to the pan, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Vegan Rice

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium pot, combine brown rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Peas

  1. 6

    Prepare the Peas

    In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Add the frozen peas and cook for about 3-5 minutes until heated through. Drain and set aside.

Vegan Cabbage

  1. 7

    Prepare the Cabbage

    In a large bowl, mix shredded cabbage with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and salt to taste. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften the cabbage slightly.
