Quick and versatile, can be made in as little as 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon My Sage Gourmet Garlic Herb
- 2 tablespoons Ponzu sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- Sriracha sauce to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried lemongrass or fresh if you have it-shredded
- Two handfuls kale (center rib removed, leaves torn into bite-size pieces)
- Handful Napa cabbage torn into bite size pieces
- 3-4 scallions
- 2 8.8 oz. packages of Brown Basmati Rice (I recommend Full Circle Market)](http://fullcirclefoods.com)

TOFU MARINADE
- ½ Cup Ponzu Sauce
- 2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- Sriracha Sauce to taste
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seed Oil
Instructions
- Prepare the tofu: Drain and slice about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
- Dry Fry: Heat large skillet to medium heat. Do not coat pan. The purpose of the dry fry is to remove moisture allowing better absorption of marinate.
- While tofu cooks, mix together marinade. Set aside.
- Once tofu has lightly browned on both sides, place in a deep dish in one layer.
- Pour reserved marinade mixture over tofu, turning once to coat well. Cover tightly and refrigerate.
- In the same large skillet, heat Sesame and Coconut oil over medium high heat (no higher!) Crumble ground meat into pan. Brown meat then drain off excess liquid.
- While meat is cooking , cook your rice according to package directions. If you prefer to use a different rice, be sure to allow for cooking time!!
- Once meat is cooked and drained, add remaining ingredients (black pepper through scallions) to skillet. Stir to mix. Reduce heat to low simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Add tofu to skillet, turning gently to mix.
- Serve over cooked rice.
Notes
Makes a great lettuce wrap if grains are not your thing.
You can also eliminate the chicken and still have plenty of protein from the kale and brown rice.
