BM #88 Week 1 Day 2 - 

Tofu being our family's favorite protein, here is another one which is a very customizable bowl of goodness. The vegetables can be changed as per preference or the chickpeas can be taken off the bowl the greens can be substituted with lettuce or cucumber or any other salad vegetable. The rice can be replaced with quinoa, couscous or any other grain.

The key component which we would not replace is the peanut sauce and also the roasted peanuts. I alter the ingredients as per what my pantry dictates and every time it is loved at home. 

The beauty of this bowl is that the possibilities are left to your imagination. There are vegetables, salad, protein, carbs and the options for the dressing are just as limitless.

Ingredients - 

Rice 2 cups
Tofu cubed 1 pack
Spring Greens as needed
Chickpeas soaked, boiled and seasoned as needed
