Easy and Healthy Vegan Dinner

 This meal is easy, healthy AND cheap!

Start roasting the tomatoes in the oven (see the last blog post) because they take the longest.  Then get started on the tofu.  So easy..  Just these three ingredients.

Put a quarter cup of Wondra in a shallow bowl.  Drain the tofu and pat it dry with a paper towel.  I cut it in half and save the other half for another time.*  Slice the tofu into 1/4" thick slices.  One at a time, put the tofu into the Wondra flour and coat both sides.  Saute the coated tofu in a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.  Cook it at least 5 minutes per side on medium.  I like it a little crispy.  Add 2-3 tablespoons of vegan Asian-style salad dressing to the frying pan.  Put it in in the pan - not on top of the tofu.  The dressing will bubble up a little.  It's ok.  Shake/swirl the pan a little to distribute it and coat the bottom of the tofu.  After just a minute or two, flip the tofu and swirl the pan again to coat that side of the tofu.  Give it another minute and it should be done.

This can of spinach and mustard greens by Jyoti is a quick and easy side dish.  It has about three servings and is a little spicy.   I get a case of it delivered through Amazon.com.  Shipping is free when I order some of my other products.

This Multigrain Pilaf from Trader Joe's is great!  It has a few beans thrown in there too.  Just microwave for two minutes in the bag.  I take it on trips in case I have trouble finding vegan food.

So, that's the whole meal.  Pretty easy... pretty cheap... pretty healthy.


*Store the extra tofu in a covered bowl of fresh water in the refrigerator.
