Ingredients
Scale
coconut jasmine rice
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
- 1 can light coconut milk
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
sesame tofu
- 1 block organic tofu
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
- sesame seeds
pickled cabbage & radishes
- 1 cup thinly sliced cabbage
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced radishes
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
other toppings
- sliced avocado,
- sliced cucumber
- shredded carrots
- edamame beans
Instructions
- Add your coconut milk, water, and salt to a medium pot and bring to a boil.
- Add in your Jasmine rice, cover, and let simmer on low for 18 minutes. (Don’t peek!) Once your rice is done, remove from the element, remove top, and let cool.
- While your rice is cooking, prepare your tofu.
- Slice the tofu as you please, and place in a bowl with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and maple syrup. Let sit and marinade for 15-30 minutes.
- While your tofu is marinading, prepare your picked veggies.
- Add your cabbage and radishes in bowl or Tupperware with vinegar, water, salt and sugar. (I prepare mine in 2 separate containers.)
- Let sit for 15 minutes.
- Now let’s cook the tofu.
- In a medium saucepan, heat vegetable oil on medium-high heat.
- Remove tofu from marinade, and add to pan. Bring heat down to medium and cook on each side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes a side.
- Once tofu is cooked toss with sesame seeds.
- Serve your bowls with rice, tofu, pickled veggies, and other optional toppings. Top with favourite soy sauce. (I recommend Maggie’s to go with the coconut rice!)
