fresh brocolli florets
angle-cut carrot slices, about 1/2 inch thick
sliced button or shiitake mushrooms
firm, ripe tomatoes, cut into eighths
green bell pepper, cut into long, thin strips
green and yellow zucchini, chopped in half, then coined
firm tofu, pressed and sliced into 1/2 by 2 slices
cooked brown rice
water
tamari

Directions:

Equipment needed: bamboo steamer basket and wok, or stainless steel steamer and pan with lid. Put about 1 inch of water in the wok or pan. Add 1/4-1/3 cup tamari. Place pan over medium heat. Meanwhile, put vegetables and tofu in the steamer. When water/tamari comes to a low simmer, put steamer in pan, and cover with lid. Steam for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on desired tenderness of vegetables. Serve with brown rice. Sprinkle about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the tamari water over the rice. Enjoy!!

Serves: as many as you want.

How do you press tofu? Or do you just have to buy it that way?

Josh, pressing tofu: put drained tofu on plate , place another plate on top of the tofu. Then put a heavy ( 2 pounds or so) object on top plate. Drain a few times , after an hour or a little more, it should be done. Its just easier to work with this way. airwaving@yahoo.com

we've eaten this three times in the past two weeks! I served it to dinner guests last night with rice noodles instead of brown rice. They loved it!
