Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (or jasmine rice)
  • 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup shelled edamame (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 large cucumber, chopped
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 1–2 jalapeños, sliced (optional)
  • 1/3 cup crispy fried onions (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (more to taste)
  • 1 tbsp honey or sugar-free maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry) (optional)
  • 1/3 cup mayo (or Greek yogurt mayo)
  • 1–2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp lime juice (or lemon juice)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Cook rice (if not already cooked) and keep warm.
  2. Make sriracha mayo: Stir mayo, sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  3. Pan-sear tofu: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil, then cook tofu cubes 8–10 minutes, turning until golden on most sides.
  4. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, honey (if using), garlic, and ginger.
  5. If you want it thicker, add the cornstarch slurry.
  6. Glaze the tofu: Pour sauce into the skillet. Cook 1–2 minutes until glossy and clinging to the tofu.
  7. Assemble bowls: Divide rice into 4 bowls. Top with edamame, cucumber, avocado, spicy tofu, and jalapeño slices.
  8. Finish: Drizzle with sriracha mayo and sprinkle on crispy fried onions + sesame seeds. Serve right away.

Notes

  • Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level.
  • For a vegan option, use sugar-free maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
