Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 6-8 oz tofu cubed roughly 1/3 of a package of tofu prepared your favourite way or simply toasted with sesame oil + tamari
- 1 cup seaweed salad
- 1 cup shelled edamame
- 1 sheet or plain nori
- 2 teaspoons white & black sesame seeds
- 2 mini cucumbers
- 2-3 cups of mixed salad greens
- additional tamari soy sauce or gluten-free alternative
optional:
- red chili flakes
- 1 cup brown rice
- japanese 7 spice shichimi togarashi
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your tofu by cubing it into 1-2 inch cubes. Pan fry or bake with 3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce equivalent, 1 tbsp water, 2 tsp toasted sesame oil, and 1 tsp rice vinegar or your favourite marinade. Sometimes, i'll just add plain baked tofu cubed when I'm short on time.
- Divide ingredients between two bowls, starting with salad greens, diced mini cucumbers, edamame, seaweed salad, avocado cubed and finally tofu.
- Top with toasted black and white sesame seeds and shredded nori to top.
- If you want something a little heartier, toss in brown rice. For more flavour, use additional tamari or soy sauce, chili flakes or shichimi togarashi to top.
Notes
Secrets to Success
- If you want something a little heartier, you can toss in brown rice or sushi rice or make this over a bed of rice and top it with fresh veggies and greens.
- For more flavor, use additional tamari or soy sauce, chili flakes, or shichimi togarashi to top.
- These bowls make an excellent make-ahead meal prep option. I recommend storing the ingredients separately in airtight containers, then reheating and assembling them when ready to eat.
- As with most bowls and salads, you can add or omit ingredients as needed. Feel free to add additional fresh vegetables like bell peppers, radishes, edamame, carrots, green or red cabbage, red onions, and more! Make this dish your own.
- For best results, I recommend using extra firm tofu and removing any excess water with kitchen towels or a paper towel to get extra crispy tofu.
