Ingredients
  

  • 14 ounces extra firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce, GF Liquid aminos, or gluten-free tamari
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1-2 tablespoons sriracha or red chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic or garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup vegan mayo
  • 1-2 tablespoons sriracha or sambal oelek (optional for spice)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 4-5 cups cooked sushi rice, brown rice, or jasmine rice
  • 2 cups shelled edamame
  • 1 English cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1-2 avocados diced
  • 1/4 cup crispy onions
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced

Equipment

  • large non-stick skillet
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • Rice cooker or pot

Method
 

  1. Cook your choice of rice according to package instructions.
  2. Blot the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut into ¾ inch cubes.
  3. Whisk together the sticky glaze ingredients in a small bowl and whisk all the yum yum sauce ingredients in another bowl.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado or olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salt and pepper, then gently place tofu cubes in the pan and cook undisturbed until golden, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  5. Pour the sticky glaze into the pan with the tofu and gently fold to coat. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Divide cooked rice among 4 bowls and top each with edamame, cucumber slices, and diced avocado. Distribute glazed tofu cubes over the bowls.
  7. Drizzle yum yum sauce over each bowl and garnish with crispy onions, cilantro, and green onions.
