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.
