my body is a temple: fried brown rice with greens


at this time of year, kitchen slavery and the excess of rich foods assault the palate and brain: this is your incredibly delicious saviour. 

per person:
1tsp olive or other oil 
50g firm tofu, in 1cm cubes
1c cooked brown rice (preferably refrigerated overnight)
1 bok choy, sliced in 1cm sections (separate white and green)
6-8 snowpeas
1 small clove garlic, finely minced
1cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
soy sauce and sesame oil to taste

gently fry tofu on medium-high heat for 2 minutes before adding the rice. fry for a further 2 minutes, sautéing gently then adding garlic, bok choy white stem parts. cook for two minutes before adding bok choy greens and snowpeas. reduce to medium-low heat, cover with a lid for one minute, then add ginger, soy sauce and a  touch of sesame oil before removing from heat and serving. 

ahhhhhhhh :)
