  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp chilli powder
  • 250 g (8.8 oz) firm tofu
  • 1/2 cup pickled red cabbage
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • handful of coriander, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • chilli sauce, for serving

For the marinade

  • 1 tbsp soya sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp chilli sauce
  • 2 tsp peanut butter

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C fan / 425°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Remove the tofu from the packaging and gently press it to remove any excess water. Place the tofu on a chopping board and slice it into 1” cubes.
  • Combine the marinade ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl. Then add the tofu, toss the cubes in the marinade to coat and set to one side.
  • Meanwhile add the quinoa to a saucepan with 1 cup of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 40 minutes or until soft.
  • Place the tofu cubes on the pre-lined baking tray and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the tofu from the oven and add the black beans to the baking tray. Season the beans with chilli powder, paprika and garlic powder, then bake for another 5 minutes with the tofu.
  • Remove the tofu and beans from the oven and set to one side.
  • Start assembling your bowls by adding half of the tofu, quinoa, beans, red cabbage, red pepper and cucumber.
  • Top with half of the avocado and serve with a squeeze of lime, a drizzle of chilli sauce and a spoonful of leftover marinade.
