Leftovers galore

I've been going out a lot lately, so I've tried to be wise about the leftovers. I tried to reuse a tofu dish I didn't really like, and I still didn't really like it.
Yesterday I invented a yummy dish that worked wonders for some OTHER leftover tofu. The tofu was in spicy sauce. I stirfried it a bit more to make it firmer. Then I added a can of goya green peas in coconut milk and some Thai spicy sauce. It was quite yummy! Sort of a creamy spicy sauce. Then I put some jasmine rice in the microwave, which I don't reccommend doing, since you can't monitor the soaking up process.

I had a half of a leftover burrito to which I added the rest of my refried beans (finally using them up). It was better the first time, but full of the protein I need! Things will calm down a bit perhaps this week and I'll get to try the magic out in the kitchen!

Asian inspired grilling and stir fry

So I decided to try my free George Foreman type grill for the first time (I got it probably 3 years ago). I marinated some tofu, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, and tomatoes in a mixture of soy sauce and mago chili sauce. I put them on the grill for about 20 minutes. I cooked up some spelt and had it all together. It was a real meal! Balanced and everything.

I put the leftovers (minus the tomatoes) in a wok and fried it all up. I added a small zucchini, diced, and a whole bunch of diced pistachios (finally!). I put some ginger and garlic and onion powder in and mixed it all up! I'll take that for lunch. Both incarnations are wonderful. Cherrio!
