Recipe Tips for Sushi Bowl Meal Prep
Make it Soy-Free: Want to enjoy this soy-free sushi bowl? Simply swap the tofu for soy-free mock meat or soy-free tofu such as fava bean tofu. Also, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a soy-free option.
Use Extra Firm Tofu & Press It Well: Extra firm tofu contains the least moisture, making it ideal for crisping up in a pan or air fryer. Press your tofu before cooking to remove excess water for the best texture. This step helps the tofu absorb more flavour and achieve that perfect golden crispiness.
Customize Your Bowl: This recipe is incredibly versatile! Add more crunch with shredded cabbage, swap brown rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice, or spice it up with a drizzle of sriracha mayo. Make it your own!
