The five-minute lunch




This is what I had for lunch today. Leftover brown rice, chopped little gem lettuce, leftover caramelized lemongrass tofu, mandarin orange segments, and sesame-soy dressing.

Pretty good for 5 minutes, right?

Normally I make a big batch of hummus on Sunday, and have that for lunches throughout the week. But I decided to change things up a bit this week, and I made a batch of caramelized lemongrass tofu instead. It keeps beautifully in the fridge-- I actually prefer the toothsome texture of cold tofu to the squishy one of warm tofu-- and I've been putting into pho and rice noodles salads and now this for lunch.

What did you have for lunch? Leave me a comment and let me know!

P.S. Thank you all for your comments on my "why veganism?" post. I'll address that topic again sometime soon!

I'm glad you're enjoying the tofu! I like it cold, too. It's great in sandwiches.

LizNoVeggieGirl said...

that is perhaps one of the most DELICIOUS-looking 5-minute lunches I've ever seen - gorgeous!

Alison Nicole said...

Today, I had Tangerine Baked Tofu from Veganomicon with roasted asparagus, a brown rice tortilla, and a red grapefruit. I can't wait to try that caramelized tofu!

T said...

Carmelized lemongrass tofu... yum! Prepping ahead is such a great idea, I just never do it...unless you count massive amounts of leftovers. Today I had leftover curry, yum!

What I had today is not particularly interesting (some of my husbands cold cereal, a slice of bread, and some dried dates - in my own much needed defense, I was awfully busy and I am making homemade roasted vegetable soup for dinner - a thin excuse, I know!).

What is far more interesting is what I am having tomorrow: That gorgeous lemongrass tofu. We had two blocks of tofu in the fridge. Last night, I made a curry with one block. And now I know what to do with the second.

Cheers!

This puts my lunch to shame. I made a giant pot of mashed potatoes, heavy on the earth balance with some roasted garlic, paprika, pepper, salt, nooch, rosemary, chilies etc.

I had herpes simplex virus type 2, I have been taking too many drugs, but sometimes i wish i could make it go away forever, my world was gradually coming to an end but i keep hoping thing will be better than this. I saw a post in a health forum from miss woman on how she was treated from herpes simplex virus 2 with the use of Dr. Todd herbs and she also wrote Dr. Todd cure all kind of deadly diseases. At first i doubted if it was real but decided to give it a try and i contacted this herbal Doctor on internet by his website [[https://manifestspellcast.wordpress.com]],, and explain my problem to him and he told me that he is going to prepare a herbal medicine for me which he did and he sent it to me through UPS service, when i received this herbal medicine, he gave me instructions on how to use it, after taken the medicine as instructed, i went for check up and the result shows negative and i was treated of this deadly disease within a 2 week, I am now free from herpes simplex virus. You can contact him, his email __________________manifestspellcast@gmail.com I am so happy, He can restore broken marriage/relationship

I NEED MY EX BACK DESPERATELY EMAIL DR. SAM FOR URGENT AND FAST HELP: SUPREMESPELLCAST@GMAIL.COM

My name is Lisa Amy. I am really pleased with this service Dr. Sam rendered to me. I am one of those people who said, “I’ll never call a psychic or a magician or whatever” to help me with my problems – least of all my love problems, but I reached the point where I knew I needed some guidance, and I’m so glad I found this man called Dr. Sam I never in a million years would have thought I’d be writing a letter like this, but when I nearly lost Andrew in one of our stupid, fights (he broke up with me), I thought I had lost everything.i cry all day and think that he will never come back to me again.I read a testimony by a man called Taylor Borg about him saying that how Dr. Sam helps him to get back is EX wife within 24 hours.I quickly email him. He did a (Lover spell) for me. 24 hours later, my (Ex-Boyfriend) came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal and our love is now stronger than he can't do without being with me. My boyfriend and I are living together happily again. Dr. Sam is the best online spell caster that is powerful and genuine. And when I was at my most desperate, he didn’t take advantage of me. You performed a very good service for a person in true need. I don’t know how you did it, or how this magic works, but all I know is, IT WORKS!! Andrew and I are happily back together, and I’ll always be grateful to Dr. Sam emails him for any kind of help and is very capable and reliable for help.
