Just because you’re on a budget, doesn’t mean that you need to sacrifice tasty, nutritious meals. This brown rice stir fry makes a perfect-for-meal-prep dinner that’s packed with flavor, veggies, and protein!
1(16-ounce) package of extra firm tofu, cut into ½-inch cubes
Instructions
Mix together the rice and vegetable broth in a medium pot with a lid. Over high heat, bring to a boil. Cover with the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 40 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, broccoli, and tofu, and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, until veggies become tender.
Stir in the cooked rice and cook for 5 more minutes.
Notes
Slightly undercook the brown rice in the pot. It's going to cook more with the veggies and you don't want everything too soft.
Don't skip cooking in the broth. It tastes much better with it.
Get creative. Feel free to swap out the veggies with others you may enjoy! Mushrooms, cauliflower, spinach, asparagus, green beans, and snow peas are just a few that will work.
