Ingredients
Tofu and Veggie Spring Roll Bowls
- 1 block (14-16 ounces) extra firm tofu
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 4 ounces dry udon noodles
- 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup frozen edamame
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- lime and fresh cilantro for topping
Peanut Sauce
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 and ½ tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 and ½ tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons water or vegetable broth
Instructions
- Cook the udon noodles according to package instructions.
- While the noodles are cooking, prep the tofu. Slice the extra firm tofu into thin squares (about 1 cm thick). Heat the sesame oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Layer the tofu slices evenly in the skillet; you may need to do 2 rounds of sauteing, depending on your skillet size. Saute until lightly browned, then flip. This will take about 5 minutes on each side.
- While the tofu is sauteing, prep the cabbage, carrots, and cucumber. Heat the edamame according to package instructions.
- For meal prep, assemble the ingredients into four different containers.
- Mix the peanut sauce together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the spring roll bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, a squeeze of lime, and fresh chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
Notes
Shredded carrots: I buy preshredded carrots, but you can also grate large carrots or chop into matchsticks.
Purple cabbage: This can also be bought preshredded, but I usually buy a large head of cabbage and slice it. To do this, slice the cabbage into thin strips, then chop into smaller pieces.
Frozen edamame: Find labeled as "mukimame" in the freezer aisle. This means shelled edamame.
