Killer Tofu and Teriyaki Veggies

For my wedding I received this amazing wok. I highly recommend getting yourself a wok on which to make teriyaki veggies. This recipe serves 6 people-ish.

You'll need:
1 4lb. bag of Teriyaki Stir-fry
2 Small to medium packs of Extra Firm Tofu
4 cups of Parboiled Rice

Teriyaki sauce (read the ingredients and make sure there's no alcohol in it), Soy Sauce, Adobo Goya, Goya's Sazon con Azafran.

1. Begin my letting your rice cook in the background. Add 4 cups of Parboiled rice to your rice cooker. Add water depending on your cooker's instructions (vary). Add salt to taste and Adobo Goya to taste. Your rice will balance the meal in case your Tofu gets real-killer.
2. Bring out your wok. Drizzle the teriyaki sauce generously to the bottom of the pot. Start the burner on medium. Let it cook for about 4 minutes. Add the vegetables. The entire bag if your having guests over, or half the bag for a more intimate setting.
   ***DO NOT ADD WATER AND NEVER COVER*** The veggies will cook with the melting ice. Water is only neccessary if you need to achieve sogginess.
3. TLC your teriyaki by constantly stiring and flipping the veggies. Increase the heat to hight. Veggies will cook thoroughly when the baby corns are hot. Add more teriyaki sauce (a 1 round drizzle) to add more flavor.
4. Once the baby corns are cooked, lower the heat to low or simmering.
5. In a separate pan, add Smart Balance Butter Spread and cook on medium until it melts.
   
   Meanwhile chop your tofu into chunky strips. Mix soy sauce, adobo and sazon in a separate bowl. Taste it and see if it needs water. Add water until the flavors are not too strong, but still Asian. Tofu absorbs well, so your mixture will determine the taste.
   
   Place tofu in melted butter spread. Smother with your seasoning mixture. Cook on medium, letting the liqud evaporate. Taste a tofu strip, your allowed to.

Serve in layers (preferrably bowls): rice first, then veggies, then tofu - no need to add extra soy sauce. The tofu should be your flavor bursts. Veggie rolls optional. Enjoy.

Steak Lovers

"Let's Go To Bahama Breeze!"

The first thing that pops into my husband's head is (of course). STEAK!
Juicy, tender, delicious, dreamy. Hardly ever do we think of cows standing in their own poo and eating what they themselves are not supposed to eat. We hardly think of that poor-disease ridden cow being slaughtered just to make us happy for half an hour at Bahama Breeze (no offense Bahama Breeze - this is about Steak).

Bloody, corpsey....dead - never crossed his mind. Until one sunny day when he decided to watch Food, Inc. among other docu-dramas on American fast foods. Still, he wouldn't jump with the masses. He was hesitant...Oh, his love for steak was becoming a love that suffers and thus kept him there - wanting more.

Why the change then? Well, simply put, The Holy Spirit. No joke. My husband finally told ME he wants us to be vegetarians (I thought to myself, "Finally! I'll jsut let him think he was the first to say so") because our bodies are the temples of  The Holy Spirit. Or atleast that is what God intended for us muckly humans.

And thus we embark on our journey to eat, preach, and be merry. It will not be easy, but we will let God be our guide and our Master Chef. We'll bring to you yummy replacement recipes to help you on your journey to transition into a better/healthier lifestyle as well.
