Pepper Rice with Peas and Tofu

I had some tofu in the fridge and I was just trying to make something with it. I was not sure what I wanted to make for dinner. Yes, another one of those unprepared days. So I started throwing things in and adding stuff and this is the result. I was not sure if I wanted it to be a side for Roti or a mixed rice. So I kept the options open till the end. You can enjoy it either ways. It tasted good both ways :-)
