Ingredients You Need for Spicy Tofu Rice Bowl [Vegan]

For the Tofu:
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup tamari
  • 2 tablespoons chili sauce
  • 1 16-ounce package of tofu, cubed
For the Bowls:
  • 2 cups julienned carrots
  • 2 cups julienned cucumber
  • 3 tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame or canola oil
  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
  • 2 tablespoons mint, minced
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
  • Sriracha (optional)

How to Prepare Spicy Tofu Rice Bowl [Vegan]

  1. Mix together all of the tofu ingredients, except the tofu itself, in a bowl or plastic bag. Add tofu to marinade mixture and set aside. Tofu should marinate for at least 1 hour, and up to 8 hours.
  2. Place julienned carrots and julienned cucumbers into two separate bowls. Add 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar to the bowl of carrots and toss to coat with the vinegar. Add 1 tablespoon if rice wine vinegar to the bowl with the cucumbers and toss to coat. Set aside for 1 or more hours.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame or canola oil to cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place marinated tofu in pan (but not the marinade). Cook tofu in the pan for 10 minutes until browned. Toss tofu every 2 minutes or so to brown on most sides. Once browned, pour the marinade over the tofu and cook for 1 additional minute, until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to assemble bowls.
  4. Place 1/2 cup white rice in each bowl. To each bowl, add 1/4 cup each of tofu, carrots, and cucumbers. Top with cilantro, mint, and peanuts. Drizzle with sriracha and serve.
