Sesamed Tofu and Carrot with Brown Rice

Another simple and delicious recipe (I have really been on a sesame kick lately)

Ingredients:
200 g firm tofu, drained
1 large carrot, grated
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1-2 Tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1 cup water

Method:
1. Put the rice and water in a rice cooker and set for about 35 minutes (or use stovetop directions for cooking brown rice listed on the package.)
2. Break up the tofu and mix in a bowl with the carrots. Heat the tofu in a non-stick pan until really dry.
3. Add the sesame oil and carrots and saute until the carrots are tender and the tofu is at least a little brown.
4. Add the sesame seeds and soy sauce.
5. Mix the tofu carrot mixture with the brown rice and serve hot.
