Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 lb. Tofu -- firm

1 1/2 lb. Broccoli -- florets

1 Spanish Onion -- medium size

3 Carrots -- medium to large

size (3 to 4)

1 can Orange Juice -- (6 oz.) frozen

concentrate

1/2 cup Soy Sauce

3 tbsp. Corn Starch

5 Dates -- pitted

1 tsp. Ginger -- ground

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon -- ground

1/2 tsp. Turmeric powder

1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper -- ground

Double batch of Brown Rice

 

We prefer to steam the vegetables in a microwave rather than stir frying in a

wok to avoid excessive heating and the use of oil. Total preparation time is

about 30 minutes.

 

Begin by putting the water in the pot for cooking the rice and place on the

stove top.

 

Wash vegetables and remove the skin from the onion and carrots. Separate the

Broccoli florets into bite size pieces and place in a glass or ceramic covered

baking dish. Chunk the onion into 1/2 to 3/4 inch pieces and add to the baking

dish. Thinly slice two of the Carrots and add to the baking dish. Slice the

Tofu into 3/8 inch cubes and add to the baking dish. Mix the ingredients

together and sprinkle in the Ginger, Cinnamon, Turmeric and Cayenne Pepper and

mix again. Place in the Microwave for 5 minutes on " high " .

 

Begin to make the sauce in a high speed blender by adding the frozen Orange

Juice and an equal volume of Carrots. Add the Dates, Corn Starch and Soy Sauce

and blend with the cover on at high speed until the ingredients have a smooth

consistency.

 

Mix the vegetables and tofu in the baking dish and cook again for another 5

minutes on " high " .

 

Empty the contents of the blender into a microwave safe bowl. Rinse out the

blender with about 1/4 cup of water and add to the bowl and mix. Total volume

of the sauce should be about 2 cups.

 

Check the vegetables in the microwave. If the Onions have become translucent,

remove from the microwave or reheat again until they become translucent.

 

Heat the sauce at " high " in the microwave for two minutes. Mix well and reheat

for 1 minute and again mix well. Repeat until the sauce thickens and becomes

smooth.

 

Add the sauce to the vegetables and tofu and blend together and place back in

the microwave for about 3 minutes to reheat and blend the flavors together.

Mix again before serving.

 

If you prefer to cook the ingredients in a wok, it is not necessary to preheat

the sauce; just add the blended sauce to the vegetables when the Onions become

translucent and continually stir until the sauce thickens.

 

Serve over the Brown Rice. Enjoy!

 

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):

'Then God said, " I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole

earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for

food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all

the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life

in it-- I give every green plant for food. " And it was so. God saw all that he

had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may

live!
