Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Drain and remove tofu from the package, and gently pat it dry with a kitchen towel. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a box grater on the baking sheet and grate the tofu, using the largest holes, to create shredded tofu.
  3. Add the tamari, rice vinegar, cornstarch, oil garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the tofu shreds. Toss until well coated then spread the shreds into an even, single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and use tongs to gently toss. Bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until tofu is slightly golden brown.
  4. While the tofu is baking, make the peanut sauce. In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, maple syrup, sambal oelek, ginger, garlic, and water. Whisk until smooth.
  5. To assemble the bowls, divide the noodles or rice among bowls. Top with shredded tofu and garnish with toppings. Drizzle with the peanut dressing and serve.

Notes

  • A great recipe for meal prep! The tofu will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. The peanut sauce will keep in the fridge for 1 week. Whisk well before using. You can also customize with your favorite veggies!
