Ingredients for 2 bowls
For the bowl
- 120 g rice or quinoa
- 200 g tofu, natural or smoked
- 150 g edamame, cooked
- 1 large carrot
- ½ cucumber
- 1 small avocado
- 1–2 spring onions
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1–2 tsp PureRaw Spirulina Flakes
- optional: a little lime or lemon juice
- optional: fresh herbs, e.g., cilantro or parsley
For the lemon-tahini sauce
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp maple syrup or date syrup
- 1 tsp tamari or soy sauce
- 2–4 tbsp water
- 1 small piece of ginger, finely grated
- optional: ½ garlic clove, finely grated
Preparation
1. Cook the base
Cook the rice or quinoa according to the package instructions and let it cool briefly. For a fresh bowl, the base can be lukewarm.
2. Sauté the tofu
Cut the tofu into cubes and fry in a pan with a little oil until golden brown. If you prefer it more flavorful, add a small dash of tamari or soy sauce at the end.
3. Prepare vegetables
Grate the carrot or cut into fine strips. Dice the cucumber or cut into slices. Slice the avocado into wedges and drizzle with a little lemon or lime juice. Briefly warm the edamame or use cold.
4. Mix the sauce
Stir the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, tamari, ginger, and water until creamy. Gradually add water until the sauce has a nice drizzling consistency.
5. Assemble the bowl
Divide the rice or quinoa into two bowls. Arrange the tofu, edamame, carrot, cucumber, and avocado on top. Top with sesame seeds, spring onions, and Spirulina Flakes.
6. Finale
Drizzle with the lemon-tahini sauce and enjoy immediately.
PureRaw Tip
It is best to add the Spirulina Flakes to the bowl right at the very end. This keeps them visible, adds a nice green touch to the dish, and makes your bowl look particularly exciting.
