Notes
Make sure to marinate the tofu for enough time to soak up that lemony garlic flavor. You can add other veggies you like, such as bell peppers or spinach, to make it even more colorful and tasty! If you want to save time, use pre-cooked brown rice or a rice cooker. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
