Steps

25 mins

1

Drain, squeeze and cube tofu. Let it sit on a plate with paper towels to get a lot of the moisture out. Preheat oven to 350.
2

On a large pan, pour oil and warm until a wooden spoon starts to sizzle when dipped into it.
3

Dump tofu into pan. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder and red pepper flakes to your taste.
4

Chop up scallions and add to the pan.
5

Stir tofu. Let sizzle until all sides are a lovely golden brown. When cooked, place aside in a bowl.
6

Prepare quinoa and orzo. I made 2 servings, so I used 1/4 cup quinoa with 2 tbsp orzo. Pour 3/4 cup water into pan. Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes. Add vodka sauce and salt.
7

When cooked, pour contents into the bowl with the tofu. Mix it up! I like to add arugula, but be sure to snip it up into small pieces.
8

Cut red pepper in half through the stem the long way. Remove stem and seeds, and place into a baking tray.
9

Fill pepper halves and top with parmesan or any cheese you choose. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pepper is tender and the cheese is brown.
