Directions

Drain tofu, pat dry with paper towels. Heat canola oil in saute pan on med high heat. On a plate mix flour, sesame seeds, salt and pepper and red pepper flakes if adding. Dredge tofu through flour mixture, then place into the hot oil. Do not touch until crispy and golden brown on one side, then flip. Meanwhile, steam baby bok choy in a deep sauce pan with water, then drain. Cook rice, (I like to use the brown rice medley from Trader joe's, DO NOT over cook). Once tofu is golden brown on both sides remove from oil and place on paper towel to soak up extra oil. Serve slices of tofu over a bed of the rice and bok choy, top all with the chopped basil and scallions, and drizzel with soy/ponzu sauce to taste.

Makes two-three servings depending on package of tofu.

Baby Bok Choy with Cashews

Sometimes the simplest things are the most enjoyable. This dish is very high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C and has good amounts of copper and magnesium! Warning: The cashews contribute nearly half the calories.

Almonds or peanuts would work too and ff you want you could jazz it up a bit with a little freshly grated ginger and a shake of chili pepper flakes.Submitted by: KETTLEBELLJUNKY

Dynamite Spicy Sushi Sauce

You can use this sauce in spicy tuna rolls, or on a volcano or lava roll. The Sriracha hot sauce is the secret ingredient (the one with the rooster on the bottle!). You can be authentic and use "real" Japanese Mayonnaise (Kewpie), but good old Hellman's works fine too.Submitted by: JO_JO_BA
