Asian Tofu Rice Bowls

Instructions

• This flavorful rice bowl layered with crispy tofu marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, zucchini noodles, and sliced carrot is served over a bed of fried rice and topped with creamy avocado! This incredibly simple and tasty recipe was created by Christine (Jar of Lemons) for Mahatma® Rice.

  

  Step 1

• Press the tofu between paper towels or napkins to remove as much water as possible.

  Step 2

• While the tofu is pressing, cook the rice according to directions.

  

  Step 3

• Whisk the soy sauce, agave, and ginger together in a medium-sized bowl.

  

  Step 4

• Cut the tofu into small cubes and allow to soak in the sauce mixture for about 5 minutes.

  

  Step 5

• While the tofu is soaking, heat up the sesame oil over medium heat and lightly cook the garlic.

  Step 6

• Add in the soaked tofu (leaving the extra sauce in the bowl) and cook until crispy (about 10-15 minutes).

  

  Step 7

• While the tofu is cooking, spiralize the zucchini.

  Step 8

• Add the zucchini and carrots to the pan and sauté.

  

  Step 9

• Pour the extra sauce and the rice into the pan and cook for another 5 minutes (or until everything is evenly coated and hot).

  Step 10

• Serve with avocado and sesame seeds (optional)!
