Preparation
 


Cook rice accordingly. While rice is
cooking, put olive oil in a skillet or
wok with the cumin and cajun seasoning.


After the oil heats up, add tofu (after
its been pressed, drained and cubed).
Stir around until the tofu has absorbed
the oil and seasonings and has turned
the color of the seasonings.


Add one can of black beans and stir until
heated. Next add frozen edamames until
cooked through. Add the rice and
stir until heated and until it absorbs
the spices and oil. This is when you can
add salt and pepper to taste.


Put in a
bowl, top with some cilantro and enjoy.
