Mint and beet salad

I’ve been chowing on this since I dreamed it up!  Steamed beets, a lot of fresh chopped mint, steamed flat beans, tofu, and toasted almonds tossed in fresh lime juice.

Things spoil fast here so I usually freeze my tofu.  Freezing does change the texture a bit, making it more chewy.  Fine with me.  I like tofu either way, though I don’t eat it very often.  Steps for this tofu:  1) defrost, 2) slice it, 3) sprinkle pan and tofu with cayenne, 4) dry fry, flipping often enough to let it brown but not stick to the pan.  Easy!
