Prep

  1. Rice - {Double rice if making Tuesday's meal too.} 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)
  2. Tofu - Cube.
  3. Carrots / Cilantro - Prep as directed. For carrots, be sure to slice them as thinly as possible - watch this video for help! (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  4. Miso soy ginger sauce - {Double sauce if making Tuesday's meal too.} Grate ginger with a Microplane. Mix together sauce ingredients. If you made enough for Tuesday's dinner, set aside half now so you don't forget and use it all tonight. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
