Firecracker Tofu Bowl
By Eager Vegan

A bold, spicy-sweet vegan bowl with crispy tofu, fresh vegetables, creamy avocado, and a glossy firecracker sauce that brings heat, flavor, and color in every bite.

Ingredients

For the tofu:
- 1 block extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil or olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Pinch of black pepper

For the firecracker sauce:
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
- 1 tbsp tomato paste or ketchup
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

For the bowl:
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 cup broccolini or broccoli, steamed or sautéed
- 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 carrot, shredded or spiralized
- Fresh cilantro
- Sesame seeds
- Lime wedges
- Red chili slices, optional

Instructions

1. Prepare the tofu.
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove extra water. Cut into cubes.

2. Season and coat.
In a bowl, toss tofu with soy sauce, oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cornstarch until evenly coated.

3. Cook the tofu.
Air fry at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes, or bake at 425°F for 25 minutes, flipping halfway. You can also pan-fry until golden and crisp.

4. Make the firecracker sauce.
In a small pan over medium heat, add soy sauce, maple syrup, sriracha, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, tomato paste, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir until warm and slightly bubbling.

5. Thicken the sauce.
Add the cornstarch-water mixture and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce becomes glossy and thick.

6. Coat the tofu.
Add crispy tofu to the sauce and toss until every piece is covered.

7. Build the bowl.
Add rice or quinoa to a bowl. Arrange tofu, broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, avocado, and carrots around the bowl.

8. Finish and serve.
Top with cilantro, sesame seeds, lime juice, and sliced chili if you want extra heat.

Eager Vegan Tip

For extra crunch, add crushed peanuts or crispy onions on top. For a meal-prep version, keep the sauce separate until serving so the tofu stays crisp.

Before and after vegan:

In 2015 I was in a multiple vehicle car accident that fractured my coccyx bone ( tail bone) I wasn’t able to sit, stand or walk without being in so much pain. As a result, I gained so much weight. I went from 208 to over 300 pounds. I was out of work and couldn’t do much without assistance. I went to physical therapy and one day, after three months of this, I decided that none of that was working for me anymore.

The next day I decided to become a vegan and adopt a gym lifestyle. This was something I never really needed previously. I had gained in the past but I had never gotten to the weight that I was at that time. Of course I went to the gym in the past but it was purely optional as I was ok with being those sizes.

After 4 months in a vegan lifestyle I lost over 70 pounds and was able to keep it off for over two years. Issues with financially managing different diets in the household was ultimately why I let go of that lifestyle.

Fast forward today, I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and just delivered a baby six months ago. Both of those issues can make weight management tough. However, It’s time that I return back to my organic roots ( no pun intended) Im going back to the vegan life and I want to take you with me!!!

Let’s go! My page will have lots of recipes and options to make the switch to the vegan world as enjoyable for you as it has been for me!!!

You can’t do nothing but win no matter what when you make the big changes in you lifestyle !!! Don’t start all at once! Gradual changes still yield big results! Microplastics are everywhere and we do have a choice but sometimes, it’s the hard ones that benefit us most!
