Amy's Teriyaki made with Organic Tofu, Brown Rice & Vegetables — 

I know that there are Philistines among us who think they don't like tofu.  I should know for I (oh Lord) used to be one of them but now, thanks to the chefs at Amy's Kitchen, I have found tofu that I would be willing to eat a hundred times over as long as it was part of this dish ... namely, Teriyaki made with Organic Tofu, Brown Rice & Vegetables

The contents of one package (nine and a half grams) is considered to be one serving which contains 290 calories with 40 calories from fat.  There are four and a half grams total fat, half a gram saturated fat, zero grams trans fat, zero mg. cholesterol, 780mg. sodium, 52 grams total carbs, four grams dietary fiber, 15 grams sugars and ten grams protein.  Vitamins and minerals are something to write home about too with 50% (D.V.) Vitamin A, 40% Vitamin C, 4% calcium, and 8% iron.  (Some of these counts might seem a little high but remember that Amy's dishes are dense and satisfying, fending off hunger for hours after.)  An added bonus of this dish is that it is non-dairy and gluten free. 

The wonderful ingredients in this dish, as in all Amy's products, are mostly organic and include:  brown rice, broccoli, tamari (wheat free), tofu, green beans, pineapple juice, evaporated cane juice, mushroom, carrots, water chestnuts, bell peppers, lemon juice, filtered water, ginger, toasted sesame seed oil, corn starch, garlic, safflower oil and spices.

TASTE TIP: 

This dish is delicious if it is cooked carefully and not too long.  The rice especially is a treat -- flavorful and chewy the way I think rice originally was meant to be.  A delightful complement to this entree would be a bottle of Fuze Green Tea with Ginseng & Honey.

I love the Amy's products I've tried, but I haven't seen this on the shelves. I'll keep an eye out - it sounds like a good product worth trying.
