Cardomom Baked Tofu with Coconut Rice

Cardomom Baked Tofu with Coconut Rice

It was good to be home from California, able to make our own meals again.

I used the coconut rice recipe from VwaV, minus the toasted coconut and the lime zest, since I never seem to have those things on hand. I made my usual baked tofu (soy sauce, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar) and added a sprinkle of cardamom for kicks.

The kale I put through the shredder disc of my food processor, then quickly stir-fried it with a tiny drizzle of maple syrup to balance the saltiness of the tofu. Finally, I sauteed some mushrooms with peas and slivered almonds, sprinkled with soy sauce and a drizzle of balsamic to match the rest of the dish. It turned out to be pretty tasty!
