Description
A bold and satisfying salad with crispy rice, golden tofu, shaved Brussels sprouts, edamame, avocado, and a sweet spicy hot honey style dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounces extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, thinly shaved
- 1 cup shelled edamame, cooked and cooled
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss the tofu with 1 tablespoon olive oil, cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
- On the sheet pan, toss the chilled rice with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then spread it out in a thin layer. Arrange the tofu on one side of the pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes, stirring the rice and flipping the tofu halfway through, until the tofu is golden and the rice is crispy at the edges.
- In a large bowl, combine the shaved Brussels sprouts, edamame, avocado, green onions, and cilantro.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the agave syrup, hot sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Let the tofu and rice cool for 5 minutes, then add them to the vegetables.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use day-old rice for the crispiest texture.
- Press the tofu well so it browns instead of steaming.
- Add the avocado just before serving to keep it fresh and creamy.
- Store the components separately for the best leftovers.
