Cleaning Out The Fridge

Warrior Dash is coming up and we need to eat healthier food. I looked in the fridge and there's not much left to cook with... All I could find was tofu, tomatoes, asparagus, onions, and eggs. Well we got our carb and protein... now lets mix em up!



Start with rice... Since it takes about 30-50 minutes to cook a batch of rice with the rice cooker, you should make rice first!

I've decided to experiment with brown rice mixed with multi-grains!  Multi-grains are awesome! it contains vitamins and minerals. And it also help us prevent things like heart disease, certain cancers, and type 2 diabetes.

• 1/2 cup brown rice
• 1/2 cup multi grains

Mix the rice and grains together in a rice cooker, add 2 cups of water and press the "cook" button.

If you don't know how to use a rice cooker you can find the instructions here.

Step 1 Prep

• 2 tomatoes, cut them up like orange slices
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 pack of tofu, cut into 1-2 inch cubes
• 1 bundle of asparagus, chopped into little pieces
• 2 eggs, beat evenly in a separate bowl
• 11/2 teaspoon of salt (add more to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon canola oil (for the egg)
• 1 tablespoon canola oil (for the vegetables)
• 1 cup of water or chicken broth

Step 2 Cook The Eggs

For this dish you have to cook the veggies and eggs separately, then mixed them together later.

Place a deep skillet/pan on the stove and turn on high heat.  Pour the canola oil into the pan, wait about 1-2 minutes or until the oil is hot.  Then you can slowly pour the beat eggs into the pan... Let it sit for about 30 secs, scramble the egg roughly... once it's solidified then you can pour the eggs into a separate container.

Step 3 Stir Fry The Veggies

Place the same pan back on the stove and turn on the high heat.  Pour the canola oil into the pan, wait about 1-2 minutes or until the oil is hot.  Start with onions and asparagus, let it sit in the pan for about 1 minute then you mix in the tomatoes and about 1/2 teaspoon of salt together.  Cover the pan and let everything steam for about 1-2 minutes.



Remove the lid and pour in about 1 cup of water or broth, I used water in this case... to make it more vegetarian :)  let it come to a boil... reduce the heat to medium then cover again... for another 1-2 minutes

Remove the lid again, add the scrambled eggs and the tofu and the rest of the salt.  stir everything up gently... cover for another minute... remember in medium heat.



You are almost done! now remove the lid and add the black pepper... stir one last time and DONE !!!

Step 4 Eat

Get a plate, scoop in some rice, and pour the mix veggies and tofu on top of the rice... now EAT!





The left over food came with me to work the next day :) this makes a great lunch too!
