Ingredients:

  • 250g cubed tofu
  • 1 medium sized thinly sliced onion
  • 4 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 thinly sliced eggplant
  • 1 thinly sliced bell pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 2 cups frozen spinach OR 2 cups chopped kale
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper
  • 500g brown rice
  • 1 tbsp turmeric (optional)

Instructions:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 225°C, and place the cubed tofu inside. Make sure to dry the tofu by pressing it between 2 pieces of paper before putting it in the oven.
  • In a large pot, add the onions, the garlic, the miso paste/salt, and the black pepper. Add a bit of water for it to steam on low heat, for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the cabbage, the bell pepper, and the spinach/kale, stir a bit and close the lid to let it steam, for about another 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, bring water to a boil for the rice. Add in the rice and cook until done, then drain.
  • Add the bell pepper to the steamed vegetables pot, and let it steam for another 5 minutes.
  • By now the tofu should be browned and crispy. Turn off the oven, and the steamed vegetables pot. Mix in the turmeric (optional) with the rice, and the dish is ready to be served.

Serving:

Serve in a bowl, with rice and vegetables side to side, or vegetables on top. Top with the crispy cubes of tofu. This is a meal with pretty simple flavors, so feel free to add any other sauce or vegetables that you want to it.
