Tuesday's Eats and Vegetarian Meal #4 of 10

Good evening everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Tuesday! Today was another busy day of work, and then straight to the lab to run participants through my experiment.

This morning I woke up with absolutely NO appetite - I guess I ate too much last night! Breakfast was a single egg on a piece of toasted rye bread:

Mid-morning snack was a small glo-bar:

Lunch today was turkey noodle soup!! My hubby made the broth last night, and then finished it up with the noodles this morning and packed me some for lunch :-)

I also had one of these:

After work I drove straight to the university to work in the lab. I had this on the way there:

Dinner tonight was the 4th recipe of 10 vegetarian recipes this month. I am trying to make things that use a variety of vegetarian proteins (so far I have used kidney beans, black beans, lentils and today, tofu). I am also trying to avoid making pasta, since that often seems to be a fall back "vegetarian" recipe, and basically it is just too easy. I hate when the only veggie option on a menu is a pasta dish.

Coconut Curry Tofu

Ingredients:
- 2 bunches green onions (chop white parts finely, and chop green into 2 inch pieces)
- 1 (14 oz) can light coconut milk
- 1/4 cup soy sauce, divided
- 1/2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp minced fresh ginger
- 2 tsp chili paste
- 1 lb firm tofu, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
- 4 roma tomatoes, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 T dried basil
- 4 cups chopped bok choy
- salt to taste

• In a large skillet, over med. heat, mix coconut milk, 3 T soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, ginger and Chili paste. Bring to boil.

• Stir tofu, tomatoes, yellow pepper, and some of the finely chopped green onions into the skillet. Cover, cook 5 minutes, stir occasionally.

• Mix in basil and bok choy

• Season with salt and remaining soy sauce. Continue cooking 5 minutes, or until veggies are tender but crisp. Garnish with remaining green onions.

My portion:

The only thing that would have made this curry better would be if it had been served on rice - I wasn't thinking obviously. All in all ... it was awesome!
