Bok Choy and Tofu with Lemon Tahini Sauce

This meal was born of what happened to be in the fridge at the time. 
I wasn't expecting it to be mind blowing... boy, was I wrong. 
My roommate, Erin, proclaimed that we must eat this meal at least every other day and I was instructed to make a bucket of the tahini sauce, pronto!


1 package tofu, cubed
1/4 - 1/2 c nutritional yeast
1/2 T garlic powder
1/4 t cayenne
1/4 c vegetable oil

1 onion, sliced
1 head bok choy, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 large carrot, grated
salt and pepper

Sauce:
1/4 c tahini
juice from 1 lemon
1/2 c braggs liquid aminos
1 T fresh ginger, grated
1 1/2 t garlic chili paste

  • Mix together nutritional yeast, garlic powder and cayenne. Add tofu. Coat well.
  • Heat oil in frying pan and add tofu. Cook until browned on all sides.
  • Remove tofu from pan and place on paper towels to drain. Add salt to taste.
  • Saute onion and garlic until onion is translucent. 
  • Add bok choy and a little water, if needed. Simmer for 5-10 min, or until slightly tender.
  • Remove from heat and add carrot. 
  • Whisk together sauce ingredients.
  • Pour sauce over veggies then return to heat for 2-3 min. 
  • Serve over rice and top with tofu. Then, put it in your face.
