Hey hey! Lots of veggies and protein rich meals happening this week! It’s been 10+ days post surgery. Im getting back to my normal self and have more strength to do some light work. Per my doctors advice I have been focusing on my diet, eating high fiber veggies, fruits, protein rich foods and proper hydration for healing and recovery. I noticed it has helped my recovery big time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is a spin on the tuna version I made earlier this year. This is a vegetarian\/vegan option made with tofu. Grilling tofu is one of my favorite ways to eat the protein. The tofu pieces are soaked in a marinade of soy sauce, this is to provide a moistened surface for the sesame seeds to stick and add a layer of flavor. Its then pressed with well seasoned sesame seeds and grilled until golden. Served with an Asian inspired sesame cucumber salad and mushroom fried rice this meal is a fabulous take on Japanese flavors that happens to be plant based. Its super flavorful and easy to put together. I recommend doubling the recipe for a quick supper on busy weeknights. Prepare all the components and cook the day off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Slice and prepare the cucumber salad dressing, save them in separate containers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Slice and marinate the tofu, prepare the sesame mixture and save in separate containers and cook the day off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The fried rice can be made 2 days ahead or plain brown rice if ya want the meal to be simpler. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Hope you enjoy as much as we did. If you decide to make it please tag me on my instagram, would love to see your creation and\/or leave a comment.-Meera xxx<\/p>\n\n\n\n
