Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Substitute tofu with tempeh.

Substitute another green like baby kale or spinach for organic arugula.

Substitute brown, red, or black rice with quinoa or other grain of choice.

Substitute cilantro with basil, parsley, or chives.

Press your tofu
You’ll want to press the water out of the tofu at least an hour before you cook it. Wrap the tofu in paper towels or a clean tea towel and set something heavy on top of it, like a cast iron pan or a few heavy books. Let it press for about an hour if possible.

Prep Ahead
Prepare the Vietnamese-Inspired Veggies ahead of time. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

Prepare Easy 10-Minute Pickled Jalapeños ahead of time. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
