How to build your tofu poke bowl?
- Start by cooking some sushi rice. Read our blog on how to cook rice for you all of your tofu dishes to learn the best practice when cooking your rice.
- At the same time your rice is cooking, it’s time to cut your myTofu. Cut your myTofu into small blocks and cook it in a pan on medium-high heat until all sides are golden brown. Make sure to put some olive oil in the pan before cooking. If your tofu is ready, temporarily place it in a bowl.
- While your rice and tofu are still cooking, You can already start to prepare your vegetables. Cut the cucumber and avocado into small slices and get your soybeans and corn ready. You could easily use the ready-to-use small cans from the supermarket for this. We also used seaweed. This can usually be bought at your local supermarket in small packages.
- When all the ingredients are ready, it’s time to build your poke bowl. We started with a layer of sushi rice. On top of the sushi rice, we placed the other ingredients starting with avocado, followed by seaweed, Chinese myTofu, corn, cucumber, and lastly soy beans layered from top to bottom. We topped it with some wasabi mayo, but you can use any sauce you’d like, you have all the freedom when it comes to building your own Poke bowl.
