Rainbow Rice Bowl with Gooey Peanut Sauce
Ingredients ~ 4 bowls
1 cup rice
375g tofu (pressed)
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sriracha sauce
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp corn starch
2 avocados
½ cucumber
4 carrots (grated)
¼ small red cabbage
1 cup corn
1 cup cashew nuts
nutritional yeast flakes
sesame seeds
For the sauce:
½ cup coconut milk
5 tbsp natural peanut butter
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 clove of garlic (crushed)
Method
Start off with cooking the rice. Bowl 1 cup of rice in 2 cups of water. Let it cool down.
Meanwhile, prepare the tofu by cutting it up in 2 cm cubes, adding it to a bowl together with the soy sauce, olive oil, sriracha, pepper, garlic powder and corn starch. Stir everything up until every cube of tofu is covered in the mixture. Fry for 10-15 minutes in a frying pan with olive oil until crispy. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Chop up the avocado and the cucumber in cubes and put on a plate. Slice the red cabbage into thin strips and put in a bowl. Also put the graded carrots and corn in bowls and put everything on the table.
Add the cashews, sesame seeds and nutritional yeast flakes to the table as well.
For the gooey peanut sauce, mix all the ingredients together in another bowl and also add to all the bowls on the table. Now everything is ready and everyone can start assembling their own bowls, starting with rice on the bottom, veggies and tofu on top, and the sauce and toppings to top it all off. ENJOY!
Wine pairing
These rice bowls pair very nicely with a crisp and dry Riesling, ideally from the Mosel region in Germany.
