10 minute Meals - Erin's Tofu Stir Fry

Ingredients
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup broccoli
1/2 cup sliced red, yellow and green peppers
1 package already cooked teriyaki seasoned tofu
1/4 cup coconut water
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
2 Tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 package already cooked brown rice from Trader Joe’s (use as much of the rice as you want)

Directions
Get out your wok or frying pan (wok is best). Get out all ingredients and put to the side of the wok. Put the burner on medium high heat and warm up the olive oil. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Then add everything else except the toasted sesame seeds. Turn heat to high and cook while stirring continuously for 6 minutes. Don't overcook the vegetables as they lose a lot of nutrients. In the meantime, put the Trader Joes rice in the microwave and heat for 2 minutes.

***All ingredients can be purchased at Trader Joes. Most of them are ready to go and already chopped up making it quick and easy for you. Coconut water is substituted for coconut milk because it is low fat although if you are trying to beef up or don't care about calories go for the coconut milk instead.
