Ok, so no picture on this one....although I have made the tofu and sauce *somewhat unsuccessfully* before here.
I would've snapped a picture, but by the time I thought of it, I had mixed the quinoa, tofu, sauce, kale and broccoli together into a not-so-visually appealing plate.
Anyways, my roommate got this cookbook as a gift, and I remembered this recipe from before, and thought that I would give it another try. I must say, it turned out much, much better this time!
I followed the recipe almost exactly. The change that I made was adding in a cornstarch/water mixture (a little less than 1 tbs. cornstarch and 1 and some more tbs. water) to the sauce after I warmed the sauce on the stove, then stirred and watched carefully (so there was no burning!!). The sauce thickened up and ended up tasting like one of those not-at-all-good-for-you-but-good-tasting sauces served at Chinese take-out places.
There seem like a lot of steps, but really, it's pretty simple. I put the quinoa (and you could certainly use rice) in the rice maker then worked on the tofu. When the tofu was nearly done, I started steaming the kale and broccoli and made the sauce. The whole thing was relatively simple and really tasty:)
