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 butterđ
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 đ¤ˇđťââď¸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
