In the words of the immortal song, tonight I decided to turn Japanese and give something a bit different a go in an attempt to convince Adrian that tofu really isn't all that bad.
Having already bought an eggplant from the supermarket as I had skewers in mind, I found this recipe for sesame tofu and eggplant skewers online which was perfect, as, apart from the mirin which apparently you can easily substitute with a mixture of wine or sherry and sugar, I had everything I needed already in the cupboards.
It was pretty yum! The marinade is quite sweet, and if I made it again I'd probably reduce the amount of sugar added (although maybe that was the mirin substitute?), but the brown rice and more beans from the garden made it still seem pretty healthy. Adrian sadly was still unconvinced by the tofu, deciding by his second tofu skewer that he really wasn't a fan. But you could easily substitute chicken or mushrooms or something I'm sure.
Maybe you could make it and let me know how you get on - I'd definitely make it again!
