Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 teaspoons tamari divided
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups Almond Breeze Almondmilk Coconutmilk Blenddivided
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon Asian hot sauce like sriracha
- 1 block extra firm tofu cubed
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 bunch scallion sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Sesame seeds to garnish optional
Instructions
- Add quinoa, ginger, 1 teaspoon tamari, water, and 1 cup of almond milk coconut milk blend into a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce to simmer for 15 minutes. Once the liquid has been absorbed, set aside until ready to serve.
- While the quinoa is cooking, preheat the oven to 400ºF. Grease a baking sheet and set it aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, remaining 1/4 cup of almond milk coconut milk blend, remaining 2 teaspoons of tamari, lime juice, and hot sauce. Continue to whisk until smooth and pourable (add a splash of more almond milk as needed).
- Add tofu to a mixing bowl and toss with half of the peanut dressing. Transfer the tofu to the greased baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes until crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Once the tofu is done, assemble your bowls. Divide the quinoa, tofu, cabbage, carrots, and scallions evenly among 4 bowls. Drizzle each with the remaining dressing and sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds. Enjoy immediately!
