Lemongrass Coconut Tofu

Back before I went vegan, there was this frozen dinner that I absolutely loved. I think it was Kashi brand...Kashi lemongrass coconut chicken. Oh boy was it scrumptious. Tangy and sweet paired with zesty black pepper. Literally a party in your mouth! 

The last time I was at whole foods, I saw jarred lemongrass that caught my eye. I can never use up fresh lemongrass quick enough...and it's so expensive! So naturally, I had to buy this jarred version. When I got it home and remembered I had an open can of coconut milk in the fridge, I had a lightbulb moment. Bingo. 

This tofu is super quick, super yum, and very versatile. I used mine in stuffed cabbage leaves, but it would be great over brown rice, in a salad, or in a wrap.
