How It Works
A useful recipe is not just a list of ingredients. It gives you a protein anchor, a fiber source, a carb or fat lever, and a way to change portions without rebuilding the whole day.
Ingredients
- firm tofu
- rice noodles
- stir-fry vegetables
- soy sauce, lime, garlic, or chili
- sesame oil or peanuts in a measured amount
Step-by-Step Plan
- Press tofu briefly and cut it into cubes.
- Cook rice noodles until just tender.
