I decided to try actually cooking something for lunch yesterday, since I basically survive off sandwiches for dinner if I end up working until 9 pm. So, I made a stir-fry, making extra brown rice and baked tofu for a quick meal later.

The stir-fry was a simple combo of brown rice, frozen vegetables, and baked tofu. I decided to make a tahini dressing.

Tahini Yogurt Sauce (sorry about the very imprecise measurements)

1 big spoonful tahini
1 big spoonful plain yogurt
1/2 clove garlic, minced
Squirt of lemon juice
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste

Blend all ingredients in a food processor. You could probably just stir them together if you don’t have one, just be sure to chop the garlic into very small pieces.

I mixed some of the dressing into the rice and added the rest to the top of the bowl.
