Description

These Sweet and Spicy Chili Tofu Bowls are easy to make, super flavorful and great for dinner or meal prep lunch!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 8 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon tamari, or soy sauce
  • 2 (14 oz) packages extra firm tofu, OR 1 pckg tofu and 1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans
  • 4 Servings of your favorite grain (white rice, brown rice, quinoa, etc…)

Chili Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons tamari, or soy sauce
  • 1 large clove garlic, grated or minced
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoon spicy chili paste, I love to use Sambal Oelek
  • 4 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
  • 8 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil, broccoli and a pinch of salt.  Mix well and then add the 1/4 cup water and cover to let the vegetables steam and become tender, 3-5 minutes.  Once the water has cooked out, add 1 tablespoon tamari and cook for another 2-3 minutes.  Remove veggies from pan.
  2. Pat your tofu dry and press for at least 15 minutes.  Dice the tofu into bite size chunks or use your hands to tear it into chunks.  Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to a large pan and place over medium heat.  Add the tofu and cook until browned, stirring occasionally, 5-7 minutes.
  3. Mix together your sauce while the tofu is browning.  Add all sauce ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until combined.  Once tofu has browned, pour sauce over tofu and cook until sauce has thickened, 2-3 minutes.  If you’re using a mixture of tofu and chickpeas, add in the chickpeas at the same time you add in the sauce.
  4. Assemble your meal prep bowls: Lay out four similar sized meal prep bowls.  To each bowl add an equal amount of vegetables, tofu and rice (or grain of choice).  I like to add a little soy sauce to the rice.
  5. Store meal prep containers in the refrigerator until ready to eat.  You can heat them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or dump the contents into a saucepan and cook over medium heat until hot.
