This can be prepared using a microwave oven and a rice-cooker - there are numerous other ways to accomplish the same basic meal, but what we used this time is:

• standard four-cup rice-cooker
• standard 1500W microwave oven
• Botan rice
• [reverse-osmosis-filtered - $0.39 @ Wallyworld] water
• 16-ounce package extra-firm tofu (the "cold-pack" kind)
• extra-virgin olive oil
• soy sauce (Kikoman)
• garlic powder
• ground (powdered) red pepper (cayenne)
• beef stock

(note 1: any and all of these ingredients have substitutes - email if you want a list)

Instructions:

1. Cook some rice - 3 cups should be plenty for two people
2. After the rice is ready, break up about half the tofu into a [microwave safe] bowl
3. drizzle some olive oil over the tofu
4. Add the spices to the tofu and olive oil in the bowl
5. Pour in about 2 ounces of beef stock
6. Stir the contents of the bowl and microwave it on high for about 60 seconds.
7. take the bowl out of the microwave and add about a cup or a cup and a half of rice
8. drizzle more olive oil and some soy sauce over the rice (the tofu is in the bottom of the bowl, under the rice, at this point).
9. Stir up up.
10. Enjoy
