Ingredients
- 12 ounces extra firm tofu
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons agave
- 1 clove minced garlic
- White or brown rice
- Carrots
- Cucumbers
- Avocado
- Sesame seeds
- Greens (microgreens recommended)
- Pickled ginger
- Soy sauce and wasabi for topping
- Sriracha and mayo for spicy mayo drizzle
Instructions
- Step 1: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes. Marinate the tofu in soy sauce, rice vinegar, agave, and minced garlic while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Step 2: Cook the rice according to package instructions. Meanwhile, chop the carrots, cucumbers, and avocado, and prepare any greens and toppings you plan to use.
- Step 3: Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drain the tofu cubes from the marinade and add them to the pan. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is browned on all sides.
- Step 4: Assemble your bowls by dividing rice, tofu, and vegetables evenly. Drizzle with spicy mayo made from sriracha and mayo, then top with sesame seeds, pickled ginger, soy sauce, and a touch of wasabi if desired.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, press and marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Swap tofu for tempeh or cooked shrimp if preferred.
- Use quinoa or cauliflower rice as a low-carb alternative.
- Add seaweed flakes or nori strips for authentic sushi flavor.
Storage
Store leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat tofu and rice, warm gently in a skillet or microwave. Assemble bowls fresh before serving to keep the vegetables crisp and pickled ginger vibrant.

FAQs
Can I use soft tofu instead of extra firm?
Extra firm tofu is best because it holds its shape and crisps up nicely when cooked. Soft tofu will be too delicate and may break apart.
How do I make the spicy mayo drizzle?
Simply mix sriracha and mayonnaise in your preferred ratio—usually about one part sriracha to two parts mayo—and adjust to taste.

This nutritious, colorful bowl is perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner, combining hearty tofu with crisp cucumbers, creamy avocado, and a flavorful blend of rice vinegar and soy sauce.
Ingredients
Tofu and Marinade
- 12 ounces extra firm tofu
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Base and Veggies
- White or brown rice, cooked (about 2 cups cooked)
- Carrots, sliced or shredded
- Cucumbers, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Greens (microgreens or baby greens)
Toppings and Sauces
- Sesame seeds
- Pickled ginger
- Soy sauce, for topping
- Wasabi, for topping
- Sriracha sauce
- Mayonnaise (about 2 tablespoons for spicy mayo drizzle)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or neutral oil)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Press the extra firm tofu well to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, cut it into small cubes. Marinate the tofu cubes in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, agave syrup, and minced garlic. Let it marinate while you prepare the other ingredients to allow the flavors to soak in.
- Prep the Bowls: Cook your choice of white or brown rice according to package instructions. Prep the vegetables by slicing the carrots, cucumbers, and avocado. Also prepare the greens and arrange all ingredients ready for assembling the bowls.
- Cook the Tofu: Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess marinade from the tofu cubes and add them to the hot pan. Gently stir or shake the pan occasionally to prevent the tofu from sticking or over-browning. Cook until the tofu is nicely browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
- Make Spicy Mayo Drizzle: In a small bowl, combine sriracha and mayonnaise to your desired level of spiciness. Mix well and set aside for topping the bowls.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly into bowls. Top each with browned tofu, sliced carrots, cucumbers, avocado, and greens. Drizzle with spicy mayo, add soy sauce and wasabi for additional flavor to taste. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and top with pickled ginger for a fresh zing. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Pressing tofu is essential to achieve a better texture and to ensure it absorbs more marinade.
- Use a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil for frying to avoid overpowering the tofu flavor.
- You can use either white sushi rice or brown rice depending on your preference.
- Adjust the spice level in the mayo drizzle by varying the amount of sriracha.
- The bowls can be customized with other veggies like radish, edamame, or seaweed if desired.
- To make the bowl gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
