Sticky Tofu Bowls


Description

A delightful culinary adventure featuring crispy tofu, sweet and tangy sauce, and fluffy rice, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14-oz) package extra firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups steamed edamame
  • 1 avocado
  • Optional: sesame seeds and spring onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Open the package of tofu, drain the excess water, and press out the extra liquid.
  2. Cut the tofu into small to medium-sized cubes. Transfer to a container, dust with cornstarch, seal, and shake gently to coat the tofu.
  3. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  4. While the tofu cooks, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
  5. Once the tofu is crispy, pour the sauce over it, allowing it to cook for several minutes until thickened.
  6. Assemble your bowls: start with a base of rice, then layer in the crispy tofu, steamed edamame, and slices of avocado. Drizzle with remaining sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For extra crunch, coat the tofu thoroughly in cornstarch and ensure it’s well-pressed beforehand.
