Sesame-crusted Tofu Power Plate

This vegan power plate with grilled tofu is great for a filling but refreshing meal. It is best when eaten warm, but also great cold. A 30 minute meal for 2 or double the recipe to meal prep lunches for the week.
Total Time30 mins
Servings: 2

Ingredients

Recipe

  • 1 c/190g brown rice
  • 1 medium/75g carrot
  • 1 c/75g shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 large/85g Persian cucumber or other edible skinned cucumber
  • 3 small/50g radishes
  • 3 green onions

Marinated Tofu

  • ½ lb/250g firm tofu
  • Zest 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp/15ml soy sauce or Tamari for gluten free
  • 2 tsp/10ml sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp/15ml rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp/1g ground pepper
  • 1 tbsp/15g sesame seeds

Dressing

  • 2 tbsp/30ml lime juice
  • 1 tsp/5g brown sugar
  • 2 cloves/10g garlic
  • 1 ”/10g ginger
  • ¼ tsp/2g salt
  • 1 tsp/5ml sesame oil

Instructions

Start rice cooking:

  • Combine rice with 2 cups/475ml of water in a medium pot and bring to simmer over medium low heat. Cook until all liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Once cooked, remove from heat and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

While rice is cooking, marinate tofu:

  • Combine the soy sauce (or tamari), sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground pepper, and zest of 1 lime in a bowl.
  • Drain tofu if packed in water or brine. Pat tofu dry with paper towels and gently press against the cutting board to release excess liquid.
  • Cut the tofu into 6 – ¾”/2cm thick slices. Gently place slices into marinade, turning to cover all sides.
  • Allow to sit for 15 minutes, occasionally turning slices over to distribute marinade.

Cut vegetables while tofu is marinating:

  • Peel (or thoroughly scrub) carrot and slice into 2”/5cm by ¼”/6mm sticks. Slice cabbage into ¼”/6mm strands.
  • Cut cucumber into ¼”/6mm rounds. Slice radishes into ¼”/6mm sticks.
  • Slice white and light green portions of onions into ¼”/6mm rounds. Discard tops.

Cook tofu:

  • Preheat broiler on high. Line a grilling pan with foil for easier cleanup. Alternatively – a regular baking sheet lined with foil will work.
  • Remove tofu from marinade. For easiest maneuverability, slide tofu onto skewers lengthwise. Place tofu onto grilling pan or baking sheet. Sprinkle sesame seeds even over the exposed side of the tofu.
  • Grill under the broiler for 5-7 minutes, until sesame is heavily toasted, and edges of the tofu are starting to go brown. Remove and allow to sit for at least 1 minute before removing tofu from pan.
  • Make dressing while tofu is cooking:
  • Peel and finely mince ginger and garlic.
  • Combine all ingredients in a dish and mix vigorously.

Notes

Assemble plate:
Place half of cooked rice on each plate. Add half of vegetables (except onions) onto each portion.
Drizzle with dressing. Add 3 slices of cooked tofu to each plate and garnish with green onions.
Best warm, but can also be enjoyed cold. Keep dressing and tofu separate if meal prepping. Best if eaten within 2-3 days due to vegetables going dry.

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

One thing Carl and I love doing is making cookies! My favorite is caramel & his favorite is chocolate chip. I decided, let’s combine them!

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep Time20 mins
Cook Time15 mins
Rest Time20 mins
Servings: 40 Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup butter melted
  • ¾ Cup Sugar
  • 1.5 cups Dark brown sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 2.5 Cups Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ¾ Cup Caramels cut into 4 pieces each
  • 1 Cup Semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ tsp kosher salt or coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Start by unwrapping and cutting the caramels into quarters.
  • Melt butter and place in a large bowl. Add the sugars an
  • d vanilla and using a hand mixer, mix
  • for about 1 minute until well mixed and has become lighter in color.
  • Add the eggs and beat for 1 minute longer.
  • Add the flour and first portion of salt and mix just until it has all come together, about 30 seconds
  • It will look dry at first, but it will come together.
  • Stir in the caramels and chocolate chips. Then place in the fridge for 20 minutes to help the batter firm up.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Line your baking sheets with parchment paper, or spray well with non stick spray. The caramels will stick to the pan as they melt otherwise.
  • Using a 1.5 inch cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto the pans, leaving room to spread, at least 2 inches.
  • If you don’t have a cookie scoop, you can drop by heaping tablespoon.
  • Sparingly sprinkle some of the coarse salt on top of each cookie.
  • Place in the oven and bake 12-15 minutes until cookies are golden.
  • They should still be a bit soft and will continue to set when the cool.
  • Store these in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

The caramel in these cookies will become chewy if they are too cold, so it is recommended that if they are stored in the fridge or freezer that they are allowed to come to room temperature before eating. If you want super melty caramel and chocolate, pop them in the microwave for 5 – 10 seconds. Any caramel that melts on the pan will become a bit brittle, but it is still delicious and totally edible. If you feel it will be too salty with the salted tops, you can leave that part out.

Hope you enjoy this recipe! xx, Tonya Michelle
