Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz (400 g) firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (Kikkoman preferred)
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil for frying
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan option)
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or vegan cheese
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu: Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and gently press to remove excess moisture for about 10 minutes.
  2. Marinate the tofu: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and maple syrup. Toss the cubed tofu gently in the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Prepare the ranch dressing: Whisk together Greek yogurt, chopped chives, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning and chill in the fridge.
  4. Cook the tofu: Heat oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add tofu cubes in a single layer and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and caramelized. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Prep the base: In a serving bowl, layer cooked brown rice or quinoa. Scatter corn kernels, black beans, cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese on top. Add sliced avocado just before serving.
  6. Assemble the party bowl: Arrange crispy ginger garlic tofu over the base. Drizzle with ranch dressing. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, toasted pumpkin seeds, and fresh cilantro.
  7. Serve immediately for best taste and texture. If preparing ahead, keep components separate and combine just before serving.

Notes

Press tofu well to remove moisture for crispiness. Marinate tofu for at least 15 minutes. Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying tofu to keep it crispy. Use fresh herbs in ranch dressing for best flavor. Keep dressing chilled. Components can be prepared ahead and assembled before serving.
