Ingredients

1 cup brown rice, uncooked

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

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

3 cups mixed vegetables, cut into bite sized pieces (such as 1 cup broccoli, 1 cup bell peppers, 1/2 cup mushrooms, and 1/2 cup green onions)

¼ cup peanuts, chopped (optional)

½ cup peanut sauce (recipe below)

Peanut Sauce:

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

1 ½ tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon fresh garlic and/or ginger, minced
