Garlic Tofu Nourish Bowl
This nourishing bowl consists of black bean garlic tofu and noodles. This bowl contains two types of plant-based proteins.
- Starting off with the first type of proteins i.e., soba noodles – take 200 grams of noodles, add them in boiling water and cook it until it’s done. Then drain the water and rinse it with cold water. Then transfer it to a bowl and drizzle on about a teaspoon of sesame oil to prevent noodles from sticking together. While adding a really nice sesame flavor. Set it aside for now.
- Take a cup and a half of frozen edamame by pouring some oil-in-water over top of it. while we move on to preparing tofu.
- Here, I am using 450 grams block of firm tofu. Then, I am going to squeeze it from my hands just to get extra water out of it. then, cut them into 1cm cubes. Transfer them into a bowl and then we are going to add 2 and a half tablespoons of cornstarch to this. Also, add half a tablespoon of salt and pepper. Then mix this together. Then, on a large frying pan on high heat, we are going to add a tablespoon of vegetable oil and place the tofu on a single layer on the pan. Fry it until it’s golden brown.
- While tofu is frying, prepare the veggies to save time. Cut the head and stem of bok choy into bite-size pieces. Also, cut two handfuls of green beans. Cut two roasted bell peppers that are thinly sliced. These roasted bell peppers give really nice flavor to the nourish bowl.
- Once the tofu is completely cooked, add a tablespoon of black bean garlic sauce. Toss it to coat tofu. Once the tofu is cooked transfer it to a separate dish.
- In a pan, add the freshly cut bok choy heads, green beans a tiny splash of water. Let this cook until it’s softened but still crunchy on the outside. After 3-5 minutes, add the remaining leaves of bok choy with two tablespoons of black bean garlic sauce. Sautée this until the leaves wilt.
- For Sauce – Add three tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of soya sauce, and half a tablespoon of sesame oil. Mix it together.
