Stir Fried Tofu & Vegetables w/Brown Rice



Ingredients
Deep fried tofu
Komatsuna (Japanese Mustard Spinach)
Carrot
Onion
Black beans (boiled)
Ginger
Soy sauce
Salt
Sesame oil

Brown rice
Oats
Millet
Forbidden rice (Black rice)

Another quick dish for a busy day. Nothing fancy but still yummy!

Cut deep fried tofu into cubes and slice all vegetables into small slices. Place carrot, onion, ginger in pan on medium low heat and saute them in a little sesame oil until carrot become tender. Mix komatsuna, tofu and black beans and cook few more minutes then season with salt, pepper and soy sauce. Serve them with brown rice.

BTW, I've always boiled my beans before cooking and prepared to store some in refrigerator or freezer for future meals. Never add salt anytime you are cooking the beans since salt will harden up the beans. The cooking water from beans will be all-purpose soup stock so don't drain them away.

Here is good one, try this super easy awesome hot soup. Beans' Cooking Water + Ginger Juice + Soy Sauce.



タマネギ、にんじん、ショウガをニンジンがしんなりするまでゴマ油で炒めて、サイコロ大にカットした厚揚げ豆腐、茹でた黒豆、小松菜を入れてさらに火が通るまで炒めます。火を止める前に塩、胡椒、醤油で味付けしてできあがり。ところで、豆の水煮を冷蔵庫に常備しておくと、簡単な野菜炒めにもサッとひと味加える事ができてとても便利です。豆の茹で汁は温めた豆乳とブレンドしてホットドリンクにしたり、豆の甘みを生かしてスープストックにしたりと色々使えます。特に寒いこの時期に最高なのが茹で汁にショウガの搾り汁とお醤油を加えただけの超簡単の即席スープ。これは本当に美味しいです。煮豆はタッパーに入れて冷蔵庫に保存しておけば数日は色々な料理に使えるのでお薦めです。
