A vibrant bowl of nutty brown rice topped with gingery tamari-seared tofu, crisp fresh vegetables, and a creamy peanut-lime peanut sauce, finished with cilantro, sesame, and avocado. Balanced, satisfying, and perfect for meal prep.
Cook the rice: In a small saucepan, bring the brown rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30–35 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Cook the ginger-tamari tofu: Heat a medium pan over medium heat, add oil, then tofu and ginger. Sear for about 5 minutes, stirring to prevent burning. Add tamari/soy sauce and chili flakes, reduce heat, and cook on low for 3 more minutes.
Make the peanut sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, warm water, tamari/soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, sesame oil, cane sugar, and chili flakes until smooth and creamy.
Assemble: Divide rice between two bowls. Top with fresh vegetables, ginger-tamari tofu, cilantro, sesame seeds, avocado, and drizzle with peanut sauce.
Serve and customize: Add any other fresh veggies you like (e.g., cherry tomatoes, snap peas, radishes).
