Ingredients

For the Tofu:

• 200g firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes

• 1 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 1 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• Sriracha, to taste

• ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Stir-Fry:

• 1 cup cooked brown rice (about ½ cup uncooked)

• 3½ cups shredded cabbage (green or purple)

• 1 cup grated carrots

• 1 tbsp avocado oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated

• 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari

• 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)

• 1 tsp rice vinegar

• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional garnish)

• Fresh cilantro or green onions (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Bake the Tofu:
   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat tofu dry to remove excess moisture. Toss cubes with avocado oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and sriracha if using. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

2. Cook the Rice:
   Prepare brown rice according to package instructions if not already cooked. You’ll need 1 cup cooked rice for this recipe.

3. Stir-Fry the Veggies:
   Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shredded cabbage and grated carrots, stir-frying for 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar; cook another minute.

4. Assemble the Bowls:
   Divide cooked brown rice into two bowls. Top with stir-fried veggies, then layer crispy baked tofu cubes on top.

5. Garnish & Serve:
   Sprinkle with sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, or green onions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this nourishing, nutrient-dense meal.
