Ingredients

3 cups water
1 ½ cups long-grain brown rice
1 pound firm tofu
¼ cup unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
2 tablespoons tamari
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2 ¼ teaspoons arrowroot powder
2 ½ teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 carrots, sliced diagonally
4 ounces fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths
1 large chopped red bell pepper
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 cup pineapple chunks

Steps:

In a medium saucepan bring 2 cups of the water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice, reduce the heat, and simmer until the rice is tender and water is absorbed, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.
Remove excess water from the tofu, and then cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk the pineapple juice, lemon juice, ketchup, maple syrup, tamari, sesame oil, arrowroot, and ginger together.
In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, green beans, bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini and stir-fry until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the pineapple juice mixture, tofu and pineapple. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon the veggies and sauce over the brown rice and serve.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 onions, quartered
4 carrots
2 sweet green peppers
6 -10 skinless chicken thighs, (I used skinless legs)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used olive oil)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup liquid honey
1/4 cup soy sauce (I used light)
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 cloves garlic, smashed

Steps:

Quarter onions, cut carrots into one inch pieces, (I used baby carrots, about 12).
Seed, core and cut green peppers into one inch chunks.
Scatter all veggies in a roasting pan with a lid, cover and roast at 400f degrees for 15 minutes.
In a large shallow dish,combine flour, salt and pepper.
Press chicken legs into flour mixture to coat all over.
In a large non stick frypan heat 1 tablespoon oil, over medium high heat.
Brown chicken in batches, adding remaining oil when necessary, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Arrange on top of veggies in roaster.
Whisk together, in a measuring cup, orange juice,honey, soy sauce, tomato paste, corn starch and garlic.
Pour over chicken and veggies.
Cover and roast at 400f degrees for 20 minutes; uncover and roast, basting occasionally, until chicken is golden and juices run clear, approximately another 20 minutes.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cut vegetables or frozen stir-fry mixes.
For a healthier version, use less oil and replace the sugar with honey or maple syrup.
If you don't have rice vinegar, you can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce for a spicy kick.
Serve over rice, noodles, or quinoa for a complete meal.
