For rice – jasmine rice – 1 cup, vegetable stock – 2 cups, onion – 1 medium sized chopped, Green beans – chopped 1.5 cups, tofu – firm kind half block, powdered beets – 3 teaspoons, cooking oil – 3 tablespoons. Salt and pepper to taste.
For sauce – canned tomato sauce (Hunts) 15 oz can, Brown sugar – 2 tablespoons, low sodium soy sauce – 3 tablespoons, crushed red pepper flakes – 2 teaspoons, cayenne pepper – 1 teaspoon.
Instructions:
Step 1 – Cook 1 cup jasmine rice in two cups vegetable stock. I use an electric rice cooker. When done, fluff up and set aside.
Step 2 – Drain tofu block, press gently to extract water, pat dry and cut into bite sized cubes. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil and saute the tofu cubes until uniformly browned. Set aside.
Step 3 – In the same pan, heat two tablespoons of cooking oil and saute chopped onion and chopped green beans until they’re tender. Add powdered beets and cooked jasmine rice. Give it a good stir. Add salt and pepper to taste. The rice immediately turns pink due to beet powder.
Step 4 – The sauce. Combine brown sugar and soy sauce and mix it with tomato sauce. Add crushed red pepper snd cayenne and whisk everything until well combined. Sounds simple but tastes great!
Assembly – Ladle some tomato sauce into the bowl. Serve pink rice over it. Dig in and enjoy!
