KISS with Four Ingredients

Keep It Simple Stupid.  Now where the heck have I heard that?  I can't remember but it sure does apply so I'm going with it.



Cooking light has an article this month about "cooking simple", meaning to resist the temptation to add just one more ingredient.  I am notorious for this.  The writer says that adding all these additional pinches and dashes may take a dish from great to just "weird".  Hence the KISS acronym.  I really need to start doing this.  So here is my version; Crispy Tofu with Jalfrezi Sauce, and it was so good.


Recently I found some Seeds of Change Tikka Masala sauce and it was excellent and fairly low in calories.  The Jalfrezi Simmer Sauce with bell peppers and coconut looked great too.   This sauce weighs in at 90 calories, 6 grams of fat and 2 fiber so it's also pretty light.

Ingredients

Cooking Spray
1 package firm organic tofu
1 jar Seeds of Change organic Jalfrezi Simmer Sauce
1 bag pre-cut broccoli florets
1/2 cup brown rice, cooked to package directions

Directions

1. Press the tofu to remove excess water for at least an hour but overnight is better. 
**I found these directions on how to do so on a blog post; How to Press Tofu in Five Easy Steps and I really like how Melissa explains it.

2. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium high heat.  Meanwhile, cut the tofu into desired cubical size.

3. Add the tofu to the heated pan and brown. 

4. Add the broccoli and sauté about 2 minutes.

5.  Reduce the heat to low, add the simmer sauce and cover.  Simmer for about 10 minutes.

6. Serve over brown rice.
