coconut peppercorn tofu, heirloom tomatoes & jasmine rice

[bigger pic than usual, it was so hard to see anything in the smaller format!]
with orange muscat vinegar, seasoned rice vinegar, and hot chili oil. I have a “thing” for that oil, to which I was first introduced by Isa’s dipping sauce recipe in VWAV.
edited: my bad! it’s actually not in this recipe that I used hot chili oil. I used extra virgin olive oil. I’m losing my mind, as if you needed more proof.
the tofu is cooked the usual way (*) and at the end of cooking, is covered with a mixture of 1/4 cup of plain soymilk, 3 T coconut flakes, 1 1/2 t peppercorn of various colors, 1 1/2 t dried basil.
the jasmine rice was cooked in vegetable broth in the almighty rice cooker. could it be any simpler? I think not. I also added a few thin strips of white onion.
sorry about it not being a real recipe, but I’d feel so silly writing something up for something so…simplistic, yeah.
if I still can stand looking at cookies, I’ll re-try the double chocolate stout one I had been working on in order to post it soon. sorry for being a bit quiet on your comments and posts [all of which I am definitely at least reading!], hopefully it goes back to normal soon.
* I fried cubes of 16oz of super firm tofu in 1 T of peanut oil on medium high heat, let it work its magic for about 10 minutes, turning it often in order for every side to be crunchy and brown.

thank you!!! I actually made a mistake when saying I used hot chili oil in the salad, it was extra virgin olive oil. I am losing my mind! ;p
