Ingredients
- 1 14 oz package extra firm-tofu
- ½ cup barbecue-sauce or more for topping
- ⅔ cup uncooked quinoa
- ½ red-onion thinly sliced
- ½ pineapple cored and sliced
- bell-peppers thinly sliced
- zucchini thinly sliced
- oil for cooking
Optional for Topping
- coconut flakes, cilantro, avocado
Instructions
- Drain the tofu then wrap in many paper-towels. Put from the sink. Put a heavy object (for example: a massive pot with a hefty weight indoors) along with the tofu to press out the water. Allow the tofu drain for 20-30minutes.
- Rinse quinoa in a little-mesh-strainer. Heat a small-saucepan over moderate heat then add quinoa and cook about 12minutes or till lightly toasted. Add 1 1⁄3 cups water, turn heat to high. After boiling, cover and cook about 13-15minutes or till fluffy.
- Slice the drained tofu into thin 1⁄2 inch chunks. Put in a medium-bowl, add barbecue-sauce. Let it simmer for up to 10minutes.
- In a skillet over moderate heat, warm up a oil then add zucchini and bell-peppers, stir fry. Cook for 5-7minutes or till veggies are your preferred tenderness. Put aside in a plate or bowl.
- Add a bit more oil to the exact same skillet, add the tofu. Pan-fry for 2-3minutes or till crispy. Flip the tofu-chunks and cook on the other side for an extra 2-3minutes. Repeat till the tofu is crispy.
- To organize a bowl, then add cooked quinoa, tofu and veggies. Top with pineapple slices, red-onion, additional barbecue-sauce, along with other desired toppings.
