A quick and easy honey sriracha tofu bowl packed with fresh veggies and a sticky sweet-heat glaze, perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz (400g) firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (avocado or canola) for frying
  • 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced thin
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro (optional)
  • About 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or quinoa
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (toasted if possible)

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic until smooth. Adjust sriracha to taste.
  3. Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and toss gently with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  4. Heat oil in a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes in a single layer and cook 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  5. Steam broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Return tofu to the skillet over low heat, pour honey sriracha sauce over, and toss gently until tofu is evenly coated and sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  7. Assemble bowls with a base of cooked jasmine rice or quinoa. Arrange sauced tofu, steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, and red bell pepper around the bowl.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pressing tofu is essential for crispiness. Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of water. Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying tofu to maintain crispiness. Reheat tofu in a skillet to retain texture; avoid microwaving.
