Sesame Soy Tofu Salad

By

I’ve made a version of this salad a few times lately, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite lunches!

First, tofu. It’s such a great staple to have on hand because it lasts in the fridge, doesn’t require a raw meat-only cutting board, and can be eaten raw, so it’s easy to work with. Plus, I just love the texture and flavor of it!

Second, greens from my garden. So sweet and easy to acquire at this time of year!

And third, sesame and soy, the Asian power combo! Both are strong flavors that don’t disappear into food.

To make the tofu I press out as much liquid as I can with a few clean towels, and then slice it into bite-size rectangles.  I always buy extra-firm tofu to make this as easy as possible. The tofu pieces go into a pan, and I glug sesame and soy over them. There’s no need to measure – just make sure the tofu goes from white to brown, which will indicate that the flavors are all there. Allow the mixture to cook over medium heat until the sides of the tofu begin to crisp, and then flip – using tongs to get as many sides crispy as you have patience for.

To finish off the salad, I added pre-cooked broccoli, cashews for crunch, raisins for a hint of sweetness, and drizzles of sesame oil and honey to bring it all together. No separate dressing necessary, (unless of course you want to make one).

There ya have it – a nice little vegetarian lunch for you, ready in less than 10 minutes!

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
