Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 3 cups water

  • 1 ½ cups long-grain brown rice

  • 1 pound firm tofu

  • ¼ cup unsweetened pineapple juice

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup

  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup

  • 2 tablespoons tamari

  • 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons arrowroot powder

  • 2 ½ teaspoons grated fresh ginger root

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 carrots, sliced diagonally

  • 4 ounces fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths

  • 1 large chopped red bell pepper

  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch slices

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan bring 2 cups of the water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice, reduce the heat, and simmer until the rice is tender and water is absorbed, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.

  2. Remove excess water from the tofu, and then cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk the pineapple juice, lemon juice, ketchup, maple syrup, tamari, sesame oil, arrowroot, and ginger together.

  4. In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, green beans, bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini and stir-fry until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

  5. Add the pineapple juice mixture, tofu and pineapple. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon the veggies and sauce over the brown rice and serve.
