Preparation
1
Cook rice

  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and half the garlic salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

2
Prep ingredients

  • Meanwhile, core then cut peppers into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Cut zucchini in half, lengthwise, then into 1/2-inch half-moons.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • Finely chop cilantro.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3
Roast veggies

  • To the prepared baking sheet, add peppers and zucchini. Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Roast veggies in the top of the oven for 8-10 min, until tender.**

4
Make honey-lime soy sauce

  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lime juice and half the lime zest. 
  • Set aside.

5
Prep and cook tofu

  • Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Sear until golden, 2-3 min per side.
  • To the pan with tofu, add honey-lime soy sauce.
  • Cook for 2-3 min, flipping often, until tofu is coated.

6
Finish and serve

  • Meanwhile, to the rice, add remaining lime zest and half the cilantro. Fluff and combine with a fork.
  • Slice tofu.
  • Divide rice, tofu and veggies between bowls.
  • Drizzle with any remaining glaze from the pan.
  • Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if you like.

7
Modularity step (under step 5)

If you've opted to get tofu, pat dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Season tofu the same way the recipe instructs you to season the chicken. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan fry 2-3 min per side, until golden. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
