This meatless meal that won't leave your feeling lackluster! Drained tofu cubes absorb flavors very well and here we brush them with soy sauce, honey, and lime juice mixture. Honey in the sauce not only balances the briny soy sauce and tart lime juice, it also caramelizes on the tofu for a deeper flavor and rich browning on the outside. Bell peppers and tomatoes cooked to crisp-tender in the pan blend with the quinoa and tofu into a wonderful one-bowl meal. Change up your vegetables or add a few veggie-only skewers with broccoli and mushrooms, to bulk up your plate. For variety, try red or black quinoa or a blend of red, black, and white quinoa. Ready in just 40 minutes and super versatile, this dish is great for leftover vegetables as well and makes for a tasty lunch or dinner.
