Ingredients

  • 14oz extra firm tofu pressed
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked forbidden black rice
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted black sesame seeds
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced

Instructions

1
Begin by pressing the tofu for 20 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into uniform one-inch cubes.
2
Toss the cubes lightly in cornstarch to ensure a shattered-glass crust.
3
Air-fry or pan-sear the tofu until golden brown and firm.
4
While the tofu cooks, whisk together the white miso, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl until emulsified into a silky glaze.
5
Once the tofu is crisp, toss it gently in the glaze to coat evenly.
6
Assemble your bowl by placing a generous scoop of nutty forbidden black rice at the base, layering the glazed tofu, vibrant purple cabbage, and creamy avocado.
7
Finish the dish by sprinkling with black sesame seeds and fresh scallions for a sharp, aromatic crunch.
