  • 4 ounces firm tofu cut into cubes
  • ½ medium cucumber sliced
  • 4 radishes thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1 medium mango peeled and cubed
  • 6 ounces edamame beans cooked according to package instructions

Ponzu Dressing:

  • 2 ½ Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoon honey or other liquid sweetener
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce or liquid aminos

Vegan Sriracha "Mayo"

  • ¼ cup runny tahini paste
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 1 teaspoon agave nectar or other liquid sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt

Instructions

  • First, prepare the rice. Sprinkle the cooked brown rice with rice vinegar and toss with a fork. Set aside while you're preparing the rest of the ingredients.
    2 cups cooked brown rice, 2 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • If desired, you can pan-fry the tofu. Heat a bit of olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet and fry, turning every couple of minutes, until the tofu is browned on all sides.
    4 ounces firm tofu
  • Make the spicy sesame dressing. In a small bowl combine all of the ingredients, and whisk well. Taste, and adjust seasonings if desired.
    ¼ cup runny tahini paste, ¼ cup water, 2 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, 1 teaspoon agave nectar, 1 teaspoon Sriracha, ½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the ponzu sauce and whisk well. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
    2 ½ Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, 2 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 Tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger, 2 teaspoon honey, 2 teaspoon soy sauce or liquid aminos
  • Place the shredded lacinato kale into a small bowl and spoon a bit of the ponzu dressing over top. Use clean hands to massage the dressing into the kale, and then set aside while you're prepping the rest of the ingredients.
    ½ bunch lacinato kale
  • Place the cubed tofu into the bowl with the remaining ponzu dressing and let stand for 5 minutes, or as long as overnight.
  • Cook the edamame beans according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
    6 ounces edamame beans
  • To assemble, first place the rice into two serving bowls. Arrange the marinated kale and tofu over top, followed by the remaining ingredients. Garnish with cilantro and furikake sprinkles if desired.
  • To serve, drizzle generously with vegan Sriracha mayo. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Nutrition values are an estimate only
  • Prep time assumes the brown rice is already cooked.
  • Ponzu dressing and marinated kale and tofu can be made up to a day in advance, as can the Sriracha mayo and the edamame beans. 
  • If you're making this for packed lunches, leave the avocado off until ready to serve.
