Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice and 1 1/4 cups water to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Remove from burner and set aside.

    While rice cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/2" dice.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Line a plate with paper towels.

    Drain tofu. Cut into 1" cubes. Place tofu on towel-lined plate. Top with paper towels, then press gently but firmly to remove excess moisture.

    In a mixing bowl, gently combine tofu, cornstarch, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    Line another plate with a paper towel.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Add tofu to hot pan and stir occasionally until golden-brown, 6-8 minutes.

    Don't rush cooking the tofu; it will need the complete cooking time for the correct crispness.

    Remove from burner and transfer tofu to towel-lined plate.

    While tofu cooks, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place another medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add broccoli, bell peppers, 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1/4 cup water to hot pan.

    Cover and stir occasionally until water is almost completely evaporated, 4-6 minutes.

    Uncover and stir occasionally until vegetables are tender, 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Sauce and Tofu and Finish Dish

    Add soy sauce, orange sauce (to taste), red pepper flakes (to taste), white portions of green onions, and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir in tofu until coated, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping rice with tofu mixture. Garnish with green portions of green onions and peanuts. Bon appétit!
