Coconut Mango Tofu w/Black Beans & Rice

September 24, 2012 by Briana Carter

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Having a mango in my fridge that needed to be used inspired me to make this recipe. I was also looking for a different way to cook my tofu. It was excellent, dare I say so myself. Even my son, who isn’t hip on anything different, tasted a bite and agreed that it was indeed excellent.

Make sure to press your tofu for about 15-20 minutes on each side to get rid of the excess moisture. This makes it absorb the coconut oil flavoring much easier too. I use this tofu press but you can also do this with a paper towel and two plates.

I didn’t have any green onions and didn’t want to stop at the store for one ingredients because you know what happens when you do that – $30 later. ;) However, I do think green onions would have given this the extra crunch and kick it needed. It was delicious without it but I think it would be even more spectacular with it.

To compliment this recipe, I used Bob’s Red Mill Sweet White Rice and prepared it with 1 cup rice, 1 cup coconut milk, and 3/4 cup water in my rice cooker. It didn’t have an overwhelming coconut taste but was a little creamy and very tasty.

Meatless Mondays is a weekly feature which will showcase some of my hits and probably misses with living a meatless life. Many of you know I stopped eating meat about a year ago for personal reasons. While, I haven’t had any desire to go back to eating meat, it has been a struggle to find healthy foods to eat.

Everywhere you go, meat is the main dish. Since I was new to this lifestyle, it led me to eating unhealthy options. I’m on a path now to cook healthier options at home without meat. While going meatless is a personal choice for me, you can still save money by having one meatless meal a week.

Will you join me on this journey by preparing one meatless dish every week?
