Ingredients

  • 1 C short-grain brown rice or basmati
  • C olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 lb kale chopped, stems removed
  • 1 gala apple, chopped into small cubes
  • ½ C unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ½ lb extra firm tofu, cut into ¼" cubes
  • sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and place shelves in upper and lower thirds of oven. 
  • Prepare brown rice. 
  • Whisk together olive oil, sesame oil and low-sodium soy sauce. Reserve ⅓ of the dressing, then combine remaining with kale, coconut, apple, and tofu. Toss well, then spread in a single layer on 2 baking pans. Bake until crispy, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to cook evenly on all sides. Remove from oven and toss mixture with remaining dressing and the cooked rice.
