These delicious, high protein vegan meals are recipes that fuel your life without compromising on flavor! From hearty soups to power bowls, these plant based foods deliver the protein you need. This tofu bowl with rice stars crispy tofu, crisp veggies, spicy mayo and crunchy bits of fried onion!

Ingredients

Scale

For the tofu

  • 14 or 15 ounces extra firm tofu
  • Kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch (or arrowroot starch)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons smoked soy sauce or soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

For the tofu bowl

  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced or diced
  • 1/2 English cucumber, diced
  • 2 large carrots, julienne peeled or shredded
  • 4 radishes, sliced
  • ½ cup mayonnaise or vegan mayo
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Sriracha
  • Crunchy fried onions, to garnish (required!)
  • Chunky sea salt, to garnish (or soy sauce)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice. Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed (check by pulling back with a fork). Remove the heat, cover and allow to steam for 5 to 10 minutes. Then fluff with a fork.
  2. Follow the instructions to cook the Baked Tofu or Crispy Tofu*.
  3. Chop the avocados. Dice the cucumber. Julienne or shred the carrots. Slice the radishes.
  4. Make the spicy mayo: mix together the mayonnaise and the Sriracha.
  5. To serve, place the rice in a bowl and top with the tofu and veggies. Sprinkle salt on the veggies or a tiny bit of soy sauce around the whole bowl. Top with the spicy mayo and a generous sprinkle of crunchy fried onions.

Notes

*Open the recipes in another tab for easy navigating. The Baked Tofu method is easier and hands off, but takes longer (it includes a few optional additional spices and more cornstarch). The Crispy Tofu is quicker, but requires more effort at the skillet.
