Ingredients

  • 6 oz firm tofu, cubed

  • 1/3 avocado, sliced

  • Handful of kale, chopped

  • 1/2 cup edamame beans, shelled

  • Small side of kimchi

  • 1 cup cauliflower rice


For the Tofu Marinade:


  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger

  • 1 clove garlic, minced


For the Dressing:


  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Press the tofu: Place the tofu between two paper towels and place a heavy object (like a plate) on top for about 15-20 minutes to remove excess water. Then, cut the tofu into cubes.

  2. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.

  3. While the tofu is marinating, prepare the cauliflower rice: You can either grate a fresh cauliflower head or use pre-packaged cauliflower rice. If using fresh cauliflower, pulse the florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency. Steam the cauliflower rice for a few minutes until tender.

  4. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Set the dressing aside.

  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the tofu is lightly browned and slightly crispy on the outside.

  6. In a separate pot, blanch the edamame beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water.

  7. Assemble the Buddha bowls: Divide the cauliflower rice between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked tofu, sliced avocado, chopped kale, and edamame beans. Add a small side of kimchi to each bowl.

  8. Drizzle the dressing over the Buddha bowls.
