Description
A refreshing and creamy bowl made with a variety of fresh vegetables and protein, topped with a flavorful dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 150 g crispy baked tofu or other protein of choice
- 80 g edamame, shelled and thawed
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- 1 spring onion, sliced
- 1/2 avocado, cut into 1 cm cubes
- 1 tablespoon vegan cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon chili-crisp oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1–2 teaspoons crushed nori flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Arrange thinly sliced cucumber at the bottom of a jar, pressing gently to form a stable base.
- Add layers of onion, crispy baked tofu, shelled edamame, julienned carrot, spring onion, and avocado cubes to preserve freshness and individual textures.
- Place vegan cream cheese, vegan mayonnaise, Sriracha, chili-crisp oil, and soy sauce at the top of the jar, separating them from vegetables if making ahead.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and optional crushed nori flakes above the dressing for added texture.
- Secure the lid tightly to prevent spills. Refrigerate the jar upright if not serving immediately.
- Just before eating, confirm the lid is tightly sealed. Invert the jar twice, then shake vigorously for 10 seconds to ensure the spicy, creamy dressing coats all vegetables and tofu evenly.
- Eat directly from the jar or transfer contents to a bowl for easier tossing. Enjoy on its own or atop steamed rice, chilled noodles, or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a more substantial meal.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, adjust the Sriracha to your taste.
- Can substitute tofu with any other protein such as chicken or shrimp.
- Optional ingredients can be omitted based on availability.
