6 cups VeggiePack

(see separate recipe)

1 tablespoon minced garlic

2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon fresh thyme

1 teaspoon fresh oregano

1 pound very firm tofu

SERVES 6

 

Steam the VeggiePack until tender but crisp. Be sure to keep an eye on the

vegetables so they don't get too soft. While they are steaming, sauté the

onion, mushrooms, and tofu cubes in olive oil until light brown. Add the

garlic, ginger, thyme, oregano, and basil. Cook 2 additional minutes, then

stir in the soy sauce.

 

To serve, place 1 cup of the steamed vegetables on a plate and top with the

tofu mixture. Garnish with sesame seeds or gomashio, green onions, and, if

desired, Parmesan cheese.
