Prep
- Rice - For white rice, rinse until clear. Fill a saucepan or Dutch oven (or rice cooker) with rice, water (use 2:1 ratio for water to rice), and some salt. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Once water boils, stir, lower heat to a low-medium, and cover. Check white rice after ~20 min; brown at ~45 min. Rice is done when it's absorbed all the water. If it's not done, leave the cover on until all water has been absorbed. Take cover off to release steam and fluff with a wooden spoon after 5 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Tofu - If tofu is packaged in water, press out liquid first, like in this video. Then slice into 1/2” / 1.25cm cubes. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
- Make vinaigrette - Chop garlic and zest lemon. Combine with lemon juice, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, paprika, hot sauce and oil. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Cauliflower / Brussels sprouts - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)

doubled the marinade, roasted on a sheet pan instead of a pan....would probably omit the stock next time in the oven as it steamed the sprouts more than it roasted them. Solid dish, would probably make again and customize it more!
0 HelpfulI’ve come back to this one a few times as a tasty, easy dinner with ingredients we often have in hand. We like it a lot!
0 HelpfulHubby said -- there's nothing about this meal I would change! Then he said he'd maybe roast the brussels sprouts separately so they were crispier and maintained more of the delicious marinade.
