Asian Fusion

We brought Asian Fusion Cuisine into our home with Sesame Soy Marinated Tofu accompanied with Crisp Peppered Asparagus and White Rice. The meal is so savory! We both ate every last bite. The flavors bursting, the colors vibrant, the fragrance heavenly and the taste to be remembered.

One of our favorite Asian Fusion Vegan restaurants in San Diego is called Sipz, Their meals are insane and the sauces are sooooo good! This meal tasted like we went to Sipz! The sauce makes this meal a home run! WOW your family, friends, lover and or yourself with a meal to be remembered. With basic ingredients and minimal effort you too can have Asian Fusion with out going out! The meal has less than $7 worth of ingredients in it making each serving less than $3.50!

Marinated Tofu:

• 2 cups pre-cooked rice
