earth food

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg organic extra firm tofu
• 1 pkg uncle ben's pre-cooked wild rice
• thai peanut sauce
• "rooster" chili sauce
• some chili oil I found in target
• chopped garlic
• some powdered ginger root mixed with sake (about an oz)

Directions:

1. put the tofu, oil, peanut sauce, chili sauce, garlic, and galanga mixture into a bowl and microwave it for 2 minutes (time may vary)
2. when the tofu finishes, put the package of rice in for 90 seconds (don't forget to open the top of it, or it makes a disturbing 'pop' sound at about 63 seconds into the cook cycle :D)
3. when the rice is done, put it in the bowl with the tofu, stir it up (w/ chopsticks)
4. enjoy!

This is basically another one of my "meal-in-a-bowl" specialties - quite tasty! It would be good with some chicken or beef broth, too, but I only have 1 liter cartons of those, and didn't want to open one, since I'll be leaving before I could use it up, and the weather is not cold enough to keep it chilled once I take it out of the fridge.
