Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tofu: Press tofu to remove excess water, then cube. Marinate in a mixture of tamari, 1 tsp sesame oil, maple syrup and gochujang for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Stir-fry the tofu: Heat 0.5 tsp sesame oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the marinated tofu until deeply golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove from pan.
  3. Prepare vegetables: Lightly sauté the carrots and mushrooms in a pan with a touch of sesame oil until tender-crisp. Blanch the spinach for 30 seconds in boiling water, then immediately transfer to an ice bath, drain well, and squeeze out excess water. Toss with a mixture of rice vinegar, minced garlic and pinch of salt. Briefly blanch bean sprouts in boiling water for 15 seconds, drain.
  4. Assemble the bowl: In a bowl, add cooked rice as a base. Arrange the tofu and seasoned vegetables artfully on top.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
