Ingredients:
2 packages SoyBoy Caribbean Tofu
1 onion, diced
2 jalapeño chilies, stemmed, seeded, and minced
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
½ teaspoon salt + additional salt to taste
½ teaspoon turmeric
1 (15oz) can pigeon peas, rinsed
1 (14oz) can coconut milk
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons water
Pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cut the SoyBoy Caribbean Tofu into slices (about 16 slices per package).
Sauté the onion, and jalapeño in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until softened, about 3 min. Stir in the rice and cook until opaque, about 1 minute. Stir in turmeric and salt, until just combined.
Stir in the pigeon peas, coconut milk, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the remaining oil in a nonstick skillet until shimmering. Add the tofu slices and cook until golden and crisp on both sides, turning as needed. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Plate by placing tofu slices on a serving of rice. Enjoy!
