Glorified Rice Recipe

Serves 6 to 8

1 cup dry short grain white rice this is important! Long rice won’t get mushy like you need for this recipe. I buy mine at my local grocery store, but it’s not always available. So I looked it up on Amazon, and sure enough they have some. This is the one I use.
One 20 oz. can crushed pineapple well drained
½ cup + 4 tablespoons sugar
One 12.3 oz. package firm silken tofu
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 pint fresh strawberries sliced

Cook the white rice according to package directions. While the rice is still hot, place the it in a large mixing bowl and stir in the crushed pineapple and ½ cup sugar. Let the mixture rest at room temperature for one hour to cool.
Cover and refrigerate until cold.
Place the silken tofu, 4 tablespoons sugar, and lemon juice in a Vita-Mix or other blender. Blend until completely smooth.
Fold the blended tofu into the rice mixture, breaking apart any clumps of rice with a wooden spoon.
Top with fresh sliced strawberries and serve.
YUM!
