Creating your Thai inspired Buddha bowl

Tofu Directions

• Start by draining the water from your tofu and use paper towels or a kitchen towel to press down the tofu and get rid of the excess water.
• Then cut up your tofu into small cubes.
• In a bowl, add the corn starch, salt, garlic powder, and pepper and mix them well.
• Coat each tofu piece with the mixture and then lay it on a baking sheet.
• Bake your tofu squares for 20 minutes at 400*F.
• In the meantime, add about ¾ cup of your Thai peanut sauce to a bowl.
• When you take out your tofu cubes, give them a few minutes to cool off, then dip each tofu piece in the sauce.
• Put the tofu back on the tray and bake for another 20 minutes.
• *Keep in mind that this makes 2 portions* Feel free to cut the recipe in half if you don't need that much.

Assembling your bowl

• Add the Romaine lettuce as the base of your bowl.
• Add your cooked quinoa, red cabbage, grated carrots, cherry tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, edamame, roasted broccoli, and tofu to the bowl.
