Here is a really quick, low effort meal I made the other day that turned out delicious.
First, I cut up some tofu. I cut mine into cubes, but you could also scramble it or cut it up any other way you’d like. Then I sprayed a pan with a little bit of oil and cooked the tofu on medium high heat until all of the sides were golden brown. I did turn the heat down to medium about 3/4 of the way through cooking to prevent them from burning, so definitely keep and eye on them (I do that when I cook tofu scramble too to cook most of the water out). While they were cooking I added in:
- black pepper
- garlic powder
- paprika
- cayenne pepper
- cumin
After the tofu cubes were done cooking I dumped them onto a plate and cooked a bunch of veggies in the same pan. We had an assortment of frozen veggies so I used peppers (red, green, and yellow), onion, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms and spinach.
I put everything into a bowl and added some sriracha on top. Some extras I’d recommend adding in: rice, beans, or quinoa. I also added sriracha to mine, but a peanut sauce or soy sauce would also be delicious!
I know this was a simple recipe, but everything turned out so well, plus I find that eating a TON of veggies and keeping my meals simple helps with my arthritis. I’ve also noticed that eating a lower carb diet helps with my inflammation personally. Let me know what meals help you feel your best in the comments, and if diet has helped with any inflammation or pain.
