Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water. In a medium pot, combine the rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Tofu: In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 10-15 minutes.
- Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and shredded carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Add the cucumber and spinach, cooking for another 2 minutes.
- Make the Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1-2 tablespoons water to thin it out.
- Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the jasmine rice, crispy tofu, sautéed vegetables, and drizzle with peanut sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro.
