Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  2. Press tofu for 20 minutes by wrapping it in a towel and weighting it down.

  3. Cook rice per package directions using 5 cups of water with 2 vegetable bouillon cubes.

  4. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-low heat. Add vegetables, cover, and cook until carrots soften. Season with salt and set aside.
