VARIATIONS

TOFU VARIATION

• Slice tofu block into 6 slices and press between 2 plates to remove some of the liquid.
• Cut tofu into cubes and toss with 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 TB Bragg’s Liquid Amino Acids or coconut aminos.
• In a large skillet heat 1 TB coconut oil over medium heat.
• Saute tofu giving it plenty of time to crisp up. Stir occasionally.
• Continue with the rest of the dish, adding in broccoli slaw.

“FRIED RICE” VARIATION

When vegetables are still a little crispy, clear a space in pan large enough to add two eggs.
Scramble eggs lightly and then mix with the rest of the dish.

*If sodium is a concern for you, substitute 1 pound lean, ground turkey for the sausage.
