1 large carrot, sliced

Stir quickly and add 1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce.

Put the lid on to steam the vegetables for about 1 minute. Then stir well again, adding 1 sweet bell pepper, cut in pieces, along with a hot pepper such as Scotch bonnet, jalapeno (seeds removed) or similar if desired.

Add the warm toasted tofu and toss together.
