    6 servings
    WHAT YOU NEED
    rice:
    1 1/2 cup brown rice
    3 cups broth

    vegetables:
    1 T sesame oil
    1 pack extra firm tofu, drained and pressed of liquid, cut into small squares
    1/2 onion, finely chopped
    4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    5 crimini mushrooms, roughly chopped
    1 yellow pepper, cubed
    1 small broccoli head, cut into small pieces
    2 carrots, shredded
    1/2 cup kimchi, chopped, optional

    seasonings:
    ~1/4 cup reduced sodium tamari
    1 1/2 T ginger
    1/2 t red chili flakes, to your taste
    1/2 t - 1 t salt, to taste
    1-2 T sriracha, to your taste
    2 T butter, chopped into small cubes.

    toppings, optional:

    cilantro
    green onions
    sesame seeds
    HOW TO MAKE
    Begin cooking your rice as instructed on packaging.Place tofu on a cutting board with something heavy on top to press liquid out for about 15 minutes.

    In a large skillet heat sesame oil on medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook until soft about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until some moisture is lost, add peppers and broccoli, cooking until broccoli becomes bright green and begins to get tender. Add tofu and kimchi.

    Next add the ginger, chili flakes, and half of the tamari, tossing to combine. By this time your rice should be done. Transfer to the skillet with vegetables tossing to combine. Drizzle sriracha to your taste preference, add cubed butter, the other half of the tamari, toss all to combine. Toss carrots in last, this will prevent them from getting soggy. Do a taste test, adding the ~1/2 t of salt if you feel like it needs it or more tamari.

    Serve with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
