Instructions
Grilled Vegetables
- Wash vegetables and cut into slices or break into florets. Place in large reusable bag with seasoning and red pepper flakes. Marinate for 30 minutes up to 24 hours.
- Heat grill to medium heat. Prepare grill pan - please spray your grill pan with cooking spray otherwise your vegetables will stick!
- Grill vegetables over medium to high heat for 30-40 minutes until done. Stir occasionally.
Miso Peanut Dressing
- Place all ingredients in small bowl. Stir well. Add water to thin out dressing as needed.
Crispy Tofu
- Drain tofu from package, slice into 6 slices and press tofu for at least 1 hour! I love to place a towel on baking sheet, lay the tofu on it, close the towel and then press the tofu with my cast iron skillet.
- Place tofu in small dish with cover, and pour marinade over it. Marinate the tofu in the refrigerator in the basil peanut marinade with soy sauce for at least another hour for best flavor.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare large rimmed baking sheet with silpat mat or parchment paper.
- Slice tofu into even cubes. Place in medium sized bowl and toss with cornstarch.
- Lay out evenly on prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through baking time. Alternately, you could make this in the air fryer instead of baking. Turn air fryer to 400 degrees. Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place tofu in basket and air fryer for 15-20 minutes, checking halfway through and shaking basket to flip the tofu.
Assemble Bowl
- Place fresh greens in bow. Top with grilled vegetables, optional jasmine rice, crispy tofu
Notes
- Can't find asian seasoning? Look for a seasoning that has similar spices: Garlic, Ginger, Chili Pepper, Sugar, Sesame Seed, Orange Peel, Sea Salt, and Onion.
