Looking for an easy-to-through-together stovetop meal? Sometimes you just need to pull a few things out of your freezer to create a meal worth repeating. This one met my criteria. It’s my Roasted Brussel Sprouts Tofu Bowl – enjoy!
I do not often use frozen vegetables when I cook, however, I was shopping at a local market and spied several prepared frozen items. After checking the ingredients to see how clean they were, I decided to give them a try.
I found a delicious vegetable fried rice and a roasted Brussel sprouts. Both were ready-to-go frozen foods at a local store called Wild Fork. Here are the links to these so you can check them out too – Vegetable Fried Rice and Roasted Brussel Sprouts (similar items are available at Trader Joe’s).
Add a protein (I chose baked tofu), and you’ve got a complete meal in under 30 minutes!

Roasted Brussel Sprouts Tofu Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 16 oz pkg Tofu, firm Press, then pat dry to reduce any liquid. Dice into 1" squares. Toss tofu in dry ingredients: a combo of cornstarch, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder.
- 1 pkg Veggie Fried Rice, ready to cook I used Wild Fork, but Trader Joe's may also be used. It's a combo of veggies, white rice, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, salt, white pepper, and oil.
- 1 pkg Roasted Brussel Sprouts, fresh frozen with seasonings Simply seasoned with olive oil, salt, and white pepper.
- 1-2 Tbsps Olive oil or oil of your choice
Baked Tofu
- Cornstarch
- Nutritional yeast
- Garlic powder
Instructions
- Slice and prepare baked tofu. Either in an air fryer – 375℉ for 10-15 minutes, or layer on a sheet pan and cook in the oven at same temp for 30-45 minutes.
- While the tofu is baking, heat up a stovetop pan of your choice with a little olive oil. The pan needs to be large enough to accommodate the tofu, veggie fried rice, and roasted Brussel sprouts.
- Once the rice and Brussel sprouts are cooked, add baked tofu, and serve. Add green salad on the side for a perfect meal.
