For vegetarians or vegans on the quest for more muscle, getting enough protein every day can be a challenging task. You can down only so many pea or brown rice protein shakes before the blender blahs set in. That's why I came up with this high-protein tofu dinner recipe! It's delicious, healthy, vegan-friendly and will help you build muscle. All in all, it's a recipe full of win.

Pair this recipe with your favorite carb source. I poured the tofu over jasmine rice and garnished it with some green onions, dragon fruit, and pineapple. Yum.
