Ingredients
  

Sweet Chili Tofu

  • 16 Ounces Extra Firm Tofu (Pressed)
  • 2 Garlic Cloves Minced
  • ¼ Cup Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Tamari or Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil

For Bowl

  • 4 Cups Cooked Rice
  • 1 Mango Diced
  • 1 Cucumber Sliced
  • 1 Avocado Sliced
  • 8 Radishes Sliced
  • 1 Cup Purple Cabbage Shredded

Instructions
 

  • Slice the tofu into rectangles. I start by cutting the tofu block into quarters, then each quarter gets sliced into 4 thinner rectangles. This shape is easier to fry than cubed tofu because you only have to flip once! Coat tofu rectangles with cornstarch.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add tofu. Fry for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and fry the other side for another 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Add a little more sesame oil for the second side, if necessary. You may need to do this in batches depending on your pan size.
  • While the tofu is frying, make the sauce by combining the sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, tamari or soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and maple syrup in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Once tofu is browned, add the sweet chili sauce to the skillet and toss to coat all sides.
  • Build bowls by starting with a base of rice. Add veggies and the sweet chili tofu. Top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and spicy mayo or vegan yum yum sauce (optional)!
