Tofu

Coconut Brown Rice

Method

Prepare Tofu

  1. 1

    Press and Marinate Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into cubes. In a bowl, mix minced ginger, minced garlic, tamari sauce, and olive oil. Add tofu cubes and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Tofu

    In a non-stick skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add marinated tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.

Cook Coconut Brown Rice

  1. 3

    Prepare Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine brown rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Simmer Rice

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Assemble Buddha Bowl

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl or plate, layer the coconut brown rice, cooked tofu, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve immediately.
