A vibrant and delicious bowl featuring crispy tofu, fresh veggies, and a tantalizing peanut sauce for a health-packed meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 cup jasmine rice or noodles
  • 1 cup cucumbers, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oil (for pan-searing or air-frying)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice or Noodles: Cook jasmine rice or noodles according to package instructions until fluffy and tender.
  2. Prepare the Tofu: Press and cube the tofu. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and sauté the tofu until it’s golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Alternatively, use an air fryer for a healthier, equally crispy result.
  3. Whisk Together the Peanut Sauce: In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and a splash of water to thin it out if necessary.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Once the tofu is cooked, layer the cooked rice or noodles in a bowl. Top generously with crispy tofu, fresh cucumbers, julienned carrots, and chopped cilantro.
  5. Drizzle with Peanut Sauce: Finish by drizzling your homemade peanut sauce over the top, and dig in to enjoy your vibrant Thai-inspired bowl!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored separately to maintain freshness. Tofu stays good for 3-4 days, and peanut sauce for up to a week.
