Instructions

1 Combine the brown rice with 2 cups of water and oil in a medium pot. Bring to a
boil, then cover and simmer for 40 minutes.*
2 While the rice is cooking, sauté the veggies. Heat oil in a large frying pan
over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and red bell pepper to the pan once
warm. Add the salt and pepper and stir. After a few minutes, bring the heat to
medium-low and let cook until the carrots are soft and the peppers are shiny.
3 Next, prepare the sauces. Combine all of the ingredients together for the stir
fry sauce in a medium bowl or measuring cup. Then, combine all of the
ingredients together for the peanut sauce in a separate bowl or cup.
4 Drain the tofu and press firmly with paper towels or a kitchen towel to remove
as much excess water as you can. Dry the tofu and dice into small, ½-inch cubes.
Place the cubes into a medium bowl and pour the sauce over top. Stir to make
sure each of the cubes is coated in the sauce.
5 Dice the bok choy, discarding the very bottom when the stem would be. Place the
diced bok choy in a medium bowl or onto a small baking sheet. Drizzle with oil,
salt, and pepper. Mix well.
6 Grease the grates of the grill with oil and bring the heat to around 450F. I
turn all of the knobs to medium heat and check the temperature periodically. If
it gets too hot, simply turn off the middle knob.
7 Once the grill is ready, place the tofu cubes into a grilling pan and the bok
choy into another pan. Place the trays on the grill and close the lid. The bok
choy should take about 4-5 minutes to grill. The tofu will take about 10
minutes. For the tofu, lift the lid frequently to stir in order to prevent
sticking and make sure each piece gets a bit crispy.
8 By now the rice should be done. Add the cooked rice to the same pan with the
carrots and peppers. Stir for a minute or so to let the rice get a touch crispy,
perhaps turning up the heat or adding a little extra oil if needed. Then, bring
the heat back to medium and pour in the stir fry sauce, stirring everything to
combine well.
9 Pour the rice mixture into a large serving dish and add the bok choy and tofu.
Mix everything together well and garnish with microgreens, green onions, and
sesame seeds.
