Flavorful and customizable vegetarian bowls featuring crispy tofu, quinoa or rice, and fresh vegetables, topped with chili crunch and yum yum sauce.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block extra-firm or super-firm tofu (no pressing needed for super-firm tofu)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup yum yum sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chili crunch oil
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1/2 cup edamame
  • 2 tablespoons green onions (chopped)
  • 1/2 medium English cucumber (diced)
  • 1 medium avocado (diced)
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
  2. In a bowl, mix the cornstarch and soy sauce. Add the tofu and gently toss until all cubes are coated.
  3. Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the coated tofu cubes and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
  5. Add the cooked quinoa or rice to the same pan. Mix in a bit of the chili crunch oil for flavor and heat.
  6. Assemble the bowls by placing quinoa or rice at the bottom. Add crispy tofu, edamame, diced cucumber, diced avocado, and chopped green onions.
  7. Drizzle with yum yum sauce and additional chili crunch oil, if desired. Top with chopped cilantro.

Notes

For extra crunch, cook the tofu cubes a bit longer. Customize further with additional vegetables like bell peppers or carrots.
