Not original, just wanted to share these gems

Not vegan, has honey in it. Easily replaceable with other sweeteners.

1 lb tofu, pressed and dried

1 sweet potato, cubed or diced

1/2 white onion, diced

1 cup quinoa

1 teaspoon Better than Bouillon no beef base (vegetarian)

A lot of soy sauce, 1-2 tablespoons? More?

2 teaspoons minced garlic and minced ginger, each

Olive oil. I don't measure my cooking oil

1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Black pepper and salt to taste

Get 1 1/2 cups of water boiling in a sauce pan with a lid. Add the no beef base to the water, stirring it in. Add quinoa when water is boiling good, stir a little, then put the lid on and reduce the heat to just above the lowest setting. Let the quinoa boil for 15 minutes then turn the burner off and remove the sauce pan from the element. Let the quinoa sit for 10 minutes before removing the lid.

Add the diced onion into the pan with olive oil and sesame oil over medium heat. Add salt and pepper. Move onions to the sides of the pan after three minites of frying, add sesame oil, and add minced garlic and ginger in the pan. Add a little salt and pepper on top of the garlic and ginger, then turn the burner up all the way. Get the garlic and ginger simmering good then stir onion back in. Cook onions until translucent then add a little soy sauce.

Mix it in good then start tearing the tofu apart with your hands, doesn't have to look perfect. Add salt and pepper. Cook the tofu until it's a little brown, about five minutes. Add a little more soy sauce. Cook an additional five minutes. Now you can either put the tofu mixture in an air fryer or an oven. In an air fryer, cook the tofu at 400 degrees (F) for 10 minutes. In an oven, cook the tofu at 350 for 20-30 minutes

While the tofu is cooking, throw some more cooking oil in the pan and fry up the sweet potato on medium heat. Add salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Cook for five minutes then air fry or bake the sweet potato as well for as long as the tofu was cooked.

Now add the sweet potato and tofu back into the pan and fry together for a few minutes, adding a little more soy sauce and pepper. Maybe add some hot sauce too.

Serve the quinoa onto plates first then add tofu and sweet potato mixture. Enjoy!

White quinoa, green lentils, and black beans for the protein and carbs.

The sauce I made by just throwing it in with the protein and carbs. Includes sour cream, spicy brown mustard, steak sauce, black pepper, and vegetarian garlic soup base.

Serve into a bowl and garnish with chopped chives
