Ingredients
1 cup jasmine rice
3 Tbsp sesame oil, divided
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 cup edamame
1 cup diced cucumber (about 2-3 persian cucumbers)
1 avocado, diced
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Handful of fresh mint or cilantro, finely chopped
1 package extra firm tofu, cut into bite sized pieces
3 Tbsp avocado oil
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp red pepper flakes
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
Cook the jasmine rice on the stovetop according to package instructions and set aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Once cooled, toss the rice with 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce until evenly coated. Spread the rice in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
Meanwhile, prepare the tofu by cutting it into bite-sized pieces. Toss with sesame oil, cornstarch, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper until evenly coated. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the seasoned tofu and cook for about 15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
Meanwhile, prepare the Soom Asian Sesame Tahini Dressingaccording to instructions. Once the rice and tofu are cooked, combine them in a large mixing bowl with the cucumber, avocado, green onions, mint and edamame. Pour the tahini dressing over the mixture and toss until evenly combined.
