Chili Crisp Tofu Bowl

Ingredients:

  • 1 block extra firm tofu
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. soybean oil (vegetable oil)
  • 1 Tbsp. chili crisp
  • 1/4 cup Kewpie brand Japanese mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp. sriracha
  • 2 tsp. lime juice

Bowl Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cups brown rice
  • 1/4 diced green onion
  • 1 1/3 cups shelled, cooked edamame
  • 1 large avacado, peeled & thinly sliced
  • sesame seeds, as desired

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. To remove moisture from tofu, place it on a plate or in a baking dish. Put a clean cutting board or plate on tofu and add a heavy object on top. Press tofu for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Using your hands, tear pressed tofu into bite-sized pieces. Add it to a large mixing bowl with cornstarch, soy sauce and soybean oil. Toss to coat; place tofu pieces in single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until evenly browned and crisp, tossing halfway.
  4. Cook rice according to package instructions.
  5. In a large bowl, combine chili crisp, mayonnaise, sriracha and lime juice.
  6. When tofu is done cooking, transfer to bowl with sauce; gently toss to combine ingredients. Reserve extra sauce for topping at the end.
  7. Plate rice, tofu, edamame and avocado. Top with sesame seeds, green onion, and sauce before serving.
