Grilled Tofu and Sauteed Veggies

This recipe takes a little bit of prep time, but once you get everything ready the actual meal comes together in 10 minutes. This is the second time I've made this and the sauce was better than I remembered.

Ingredients
Rice
-Enough brown rice for 3-4 servings (I use Trader Joe's precooked vacuum sealed rice)
-large handful of cashews, roughly chopped
-3 pats of butter (sub oil if vegan)
-1/4 C veggie or chicken broth

-1.5 package of tofu, cut into fourths and pressed
-1/2 C veggie or chicken broth
-1 red bell pepper, julienned
-one red onion, julienned
~10 oz shiitake mushrooms (I did half shiitake, half cremini to save on cost)

-5 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
-3 T of soy sauce, divided
-3 T of sesame oil, divided
-1 T honey or brown sugar
-1 T red or white vinegar
-crushed red pepper
-green onion (optional)

To prep
-About an 30 minutes before you're going to start, press your tofu by wrapping the tofu quarters in a towel or paper towels and setting something heavy on top of it.
-After 30 minutes, put your tofu slices in a shallow dish and pierce on both sides with a fork. Drizzle 1 T soy and 1 T sesame oil on top and brush slices completely coat. Let marinate while you continue to prep.

-Chop all your veggies and garlic

Steps
1. Put your rice, butter, 1/4 C broth, and cashews in a small pan and heat covered on low, stirring occasionally.

2. Heat a large pan or wok to medium high and add 1 T sesame oil. Saute onion for about 2-3 minutes, then add the bell pepper and saute for another 3 minutes.
3. Remove onion and pepper from pan and cover to keep warm.

4. Remove tofu from marinade and add to a grill pan or George Foreman. If you don't have either, you can just add it to another pan. You want it to grill for about 3 minutes on each side (or about 6 minutes total if you're using a Foreman).
5. Add another T sesame oil and then saute your mushrooms and garlic for about 3 minutes.
6. Add 1/2 C broth, 1 T honey, 1 T vinegar, 2 T soy, couple dashes of crushed red pepper to pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 3-4 minutes or until sauce thickens.

7. Turn off everything and assemble your plates with rice, tofu, veggies, and top with mushroom sauce. Garnish with green onions if desired.
