How to make Buddha Bowl with Tofu
-
Preheat the oven to 180 Cº
-
Pat dry the tofu and slice into cubes. Put into a bowl and sprinkle the cornstarch all over. Use your hands to make sure all the cubes are well coated.
-
Take a small bowl, and mix the soy sauce, sriracha and maple syrup. Whisk to make a marinade, pour over the tofu and leave to marinade for 20 minutes while you chop your vegetables.
-
Cook the rice following the packet instructions and set aside.
-
While the tofu is marinating, cut the sweet potato into cubes. Rub the 1 tablespoon olive oil all over them and place on a large baking tray.
-
Bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add the tofu to the same tray and bake for a further 20 minutes. Take the tray out of the oven and set aside.
-
Make the sauce by whisking together all the peanut sauce ingredients in a small bowl till smooth and well combined. If it’s a little too thick, add a little more water.
-
Now its time to assemble your Buddha bowl.
-
Start with the rice as the base. Then add some tofu, sweet potato, cucumber, radish and avocado.
-
Pour some sauce over the rice and vegetables. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds, seaweed and lime (optional).
