Ingredients
- 200 g of solid tofu preferably organic
- 1 ripe avocado
- 150 g of brown rice or sushi rice
- 50 g of grated carrots
- 50 g of shelled edamame
- 1 medium cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 sliced spring onion
- 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon of nori seaweed cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon of soya bean sprouts optional
- For Marinating Tofu
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or honey if not strictly vegan
- 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
- 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
- Juice of half a lime
- 1 teaspoon of sriracha optional, for a spicy touch
- For the Spicy Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon of sriracha
- 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of maple syrup
Instructions
- Tofu preparation
- Start by draining and pressing the tofu to remove excess liquid. Once pressed, cut it into cubes of about 1.5 cm per side. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice and sriracha. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and stir gently to coat each piece. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes, so that the tofu absorbs all the flavours.
- Rice Preparation
- While the tofu is marinating, prepare the rice. Rinse 150 g brown rice under cold water until the water becomes clear. Cook the rice in a pot with twice its volume in lightly salted water. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover and cook for about 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is completely absorbed. Once cooked, let the rice cool.
- Preparing Vegetables
- While the rice cooks and the tofu marinates, prepare the vegetables. Grate the carrots, slice the cucumber and spring onion, and thaw the edamame if they are frozen. These ingredients will not only add colour to your poke bowl, but also contribute a variety of textures and flavours.
- Preparing Spicy Soy Sauce
- In a small bowl, prepare the hot soy sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sriracha, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon maple syrup. Mix well until a smooth sauce is obtained. This sauce will add a spicy and flavourful touch to the poke bowl, enhancing the taste of the tofu and vegetables.
- Assembling the Poke Bowl
- Once all the ingredients are ready, assemble the poke bowl. Spread the cooked and cooled rice in the bottom of a large bowl. On top of the rice, arrange the marinated tofu, sliced avocado, grated carrots, cucumber, edamame and spring onion. Arrange the ingredients in separate sections to create an inviting visual effect.
- Gasket and Service
- Garnish the poke bowl with toasted sesame seeds, nori seaweed strips and soybean sprouts, if desired. Pour spicy soy sauce on top to complete the dish. Serve immediately to make the most of the freshness and flavour of the ingredients.
