  1              pound  firm tofu -- (reduce or substitute cubed eggplant if desired)
  3        tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
  3        tablespoons  ketchup -- natural style preferred
  2        tablespoons  maple syrup
  3        tablespoons  soy sauce -- reduced sodium preferred
  1           teaspoon  dark sesame oil
  2        tablespoons  cornstarch
  2 1/2      teaspoons  fresh ginger root -- shredded
  1                     onion -- thinly sliced
  1                     carrots -- sliced diagonally
  4             ounces  green beans -- (fresh or frozen and thawed) cut into 1-inch pieces

Remove excess water from the tofu, and then cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.

In a small bowl, whisk the pineapple juice, lemon juice, ketchup, maple syrup, tamari, sesame oil, and cornstarch  together.

In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of water over medium-high heat. Add the ginger, onion, and carrot and stir-"fry" until the onion becomes translucent.  Add green beans, bell pepper, mushrooms, zucchini, and cabbage; cover and steam until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.  Add more water as needed.

Add the pineapple juice mixture, tofu and pineapple. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon the veggies and sauce over the brown rice and serve.
