Sesame-Orange Tofu Rice Bowl

October 3, 2014 2 Comments

Orange-Tofu-Rice-Bowl What’s another word for “in love”?

Infatuated? No… Obsessed? No…

I know – enamored. Yes, enamored. That’s exactly how I feel about rice bowls. Completely and utterly enamored. I guess you could say I’m infatuated and obsessed, too, but either way: LOVE.

Vegan-Orange-Tofu-Rice So GORG! Swoon.

I piled a heap of brown rice, sauteed kale and a sweet & savory sesame-orange tofu on my plate and then sprinkled with some sesame seeds and green onions. DINNER IS SERRRRRRVED. YES.

The combination of orange juice, sesame oil, and a hint of heat from the red chili flakes, makes your mouth be all “what is this deliciousness I’m tasting and why don’t you feed it to me more often?”. I’m sorry mouth. I will do better.

Orange-Tofu-Rice-Bowl-Vegan Can I also mention that my kids ate this and kinda sorta liked it? For real! My anti-tofu, anti-anything green kids liked this meal. Surprise of a lifetime. Guess that means no leftovers for me. But my kids ate greens! And tofu! Who are they?!

Vegan-Orange-Tofu-Rice-Bowl Now it’s your turn to dig into this super yummy bowl of everything awesome. Enjoy, friend!
