Tahini Tofu Power Bowl

Tahini Tofu Power Bowl Vegan Recipe
  • We use a brand of extra-firm tofu which doesn’t require pressing. But if yours needs pressing, place a clean tea towel on a plate and place the drained tofu on top. Then balance a heavy object on top (we use a cast iron pot) and leave the tofu to drain for 15 minutes.
  • You can substitute the tahini for peanut or almond butter if you prefer.
  • Sometimes we make our own pickled red cabbage by thinly slicing the cabbage and leaving it to pickled for an hour or so in 1-2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar.
  • You can also make this gluten-free using tamari instead of soy sauce.
