Household fav here -- bike friendly because I pick up the tofu and sauces at the grocery on my way home from work. The rest comes out of the summer garden. (Looking forward to trying your pedal-power food)

Spicy Basil Foo

1 lb extra-firm tofu, drained (or 1lb chicken if you're so inclined)
1 onion
~ 1T garlic
2-4 green or red chilis
1 red, yellow, or orange bell pepper
1 T oyster sauce
1 T fish sauce
1 garden ripened tomato
1 big 'ol bunch of thai basil leaves (or plain sweet if that's what ya grew)

Slice tofu into strips and saute in a bit of oil until golden brown
Add onion, garlic, chilis for a minute or two, then
Add bell pepper, fry till hot
Add sauces. If not salty enough, add more fish sauce.
Add basil leaves and tomatoes. Stir up and serve with rice. (I really like a long grain brown basmati, but a more traditional jasmine white is excellent too.)
