Vegetarian rice bowl

Vegetarian rice bowl

Hard to get my kids to eat veggies ,im sure im not alone here ,even though ever since they were little ive added veggies to most meals but anyway now that they are older it is what it is , no other meal options ,unless they find that hidden jar of peanut butter😂

Add or replace whatever veggies,i wish i had mushrooms and bokchoy today but make do with whatever u have

Can be made vegan if u skip the eggs

• Spinach 2cups

• Bell pepper 1 julienned

• Onion 1sliced

• Snap peas 1cup

• 4garlic cloves minced

• 1inch ginger minced

• 1egg plant sliced

• Basil leaves 1/4cup

• Tofu :firm ,drained of liquid and cubed

• Olive oil 2-3tbsp

• Sesame oil 1tbsp

• Coconut milk 1/2cup

• Eggs3-4 optinal ,1beaten rest fried

• Breadcrumbs half cup-optional

• All purpose flour 1/2cup-optional

• Salt to taste

• Sugar1tsp

• Soy sauce1-2 tbsp

• Pepper to taste

• Red chilli flakes 1/2tsp

• Corn starch2-3tbsp

Coat the pieces of tofu in corn starch by rolling them over in shallow plate with corn starch ,let sit

In a pan add 1tsp olive oil 1/2tsp garlic fry a few seconds add spinach and cook till wilted add a pinch of salt and pepper,remove and set aside

Same pan add 1tbsp olive oil add onion then ginger garlic and all other veggies,(save a 1/2tsp of that ginger and garlic for tofu) once cooked add salt pepper ,chilli flakes and coconut milk till cooked

In a separate pan fry tofu in sesame oil till crispy add ginger garlic,sugar, soy sauce and sesame seeds abd a bit more sesame oil ,u can add corn starch a bit if want thicker sauce ,add basil at end

For egg plant u can just use in stirfry or pan fry separately but i knew no one in my house would eat like that 🤷🏻‍♀️so i dip the slices in flour with salt and chilli flakes just a pinch each ,then dip in beaten egg and then optional bread crumbs,fry in pan with 1tbsp olive oil both sides till golden

To arrange the bowl place cooked rice and then all other veggies,spinach,stir fried veggies ,tofu with sauce,egg plant slices add more basil and sesame seeds to garnish

Fried eggs on top if u want
