Ingredients
  

Tofu

  • 1 Block Extra-Firm Tofu Pressed
  • ¼ Cup Tamari or Reduced-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 2 Garlic Cloves Minced
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Cashew Yum Yum

  • ⅓ Cup Cashews Soaked in hot water
  • ⅓ Cup Water
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 teaspoon Sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon White Miso Paste
  • ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon Ginger Powder

For Serving

  • 4 Cups Cooked Rice of Choice
  • 1 Cup Purple Cabbage Shredded
  • 1 Cup Edamame
  • 1 Small Cucumber Sliced
  • 1 Cup Pineapple Sliced
  • 1 Avocado Sliced

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the marinade by combining the tamari (or soy sauce), rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, and minced garlic.
  • After tofu has been pressed, slice it into cubes and add to the marinade. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  • While your tofu is marinating, make the yum yum sauce by combining all ingredients in a small blender and blending on high until creamy. If you’re not using a high-speed blender, make sure to soak your cashews for 15-30 minutes to soften.
  • Remove tofu cubes from marinade (SAVE the marinade) and toss with cornstarch.
  • Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium-high heat and add the tofu. Cook for about 18-20 minutes, tossing occasionally to brown all sides.
  • Reduce heat to low and carefully pour back in the marinade. Stir frequently while the sauce thickens, about a minute or two.
  • To serve, divide the rice between 4 bowls and add tofu, pineapple, edamame, cucumber, cabbage, and avocado. Drizzle on some yum yum sauce and add your favorite toppings.
