Ingredients

1 cup brown rice, uncooked

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 pound extra firm tofu (or chicken), cut into cubes

Peanut Sauce:

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

1 ½ tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

5. Add vegetables to pan and sauté an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Add peanut sauce, stir, and cook another 3 to 4 minutes.
