This has got to be my number 1 fixation meal. When I first made this 2 - 3 years ago I became sooo obsessed I ate it every day for months. It's just so quick to whip up, and because its high protein it's filling too. Just the perfect meal.

Ingredients

Here's everything you need to make this Tofucado Rice Bowl

• Tofu (extra firm): Finely grated and fried until crispy, tofu adds a satisfying texture and plant-based protein to the dish.
• Avocado: Creamy and delicious, avocado adds richness and healthy fats to the Tofucado mixture, creating a smooth and flavourful base.
• Soy sauce: Adds a savoury umami flavour to both the crispy tofu and the Tofucado mixture, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
• Carrot: Finely grated carrot adds a pop of colour and a subtle sweetness to the Tofucado mixture, balancing out the savoury flavours.
• Spring onion: Finely sliced spring onion adds a fresh and aromatic flavour to the Tofucado mixture, complementing the other ingredients perfectly.
• Mayonnaise: Adds creaminess and richness to the Tofucado mixture, binding everything together and adding depth of flavour.
• Crispy chilli oil: Adds a spicy kick and a crunchy texture to the Tofucado mixture, elevating the dish with a burst of heat.
• Cucumber: Finely diced cucumber adds a refreshing crunch and a hint of freshness to the finished rice bowl.
• Roasted seaweed: Served on the side, roasted seaweed adds a savoury flavour and a satisfying crunch to each bite of the Tofucado Rice Bowl.
• Oil: Used for frying the tofu, oil adds a crispy texture and helps to prevent sticking to the pan.
• Cooked white rice: Serves as the base of the rice bowl, providing a comforting and filling foundation for the flavourful toppings.

Instructions

Crispy Tofu: Make sure to fry the tofu until it's golden brown and crispy to achieve the perfect texture for your Tofucado Rice Bowl.

Substitutions

1. Tofu: If you prefer a different texture, you can use firm or silken tofu instead of extra firm tofu.
2. Mayonnaise: For a vegan option, you can use vegan mayonnaise.
3. Crispy Chilli Oil: If you don't have crispy chilli oil, you can use regular chilli oil or sriracha sauce for a spicy kick.

Storage

Store any leftover Tofucado mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Keep the cooked white rice, diced cucumber, and roasted seaweed separate until ready to serve.

I personally don't enjoy cooked avocado so I would mix the cold tofucado mixture with the hot rice to get a warmish meal.
