Ingredients
  

1 cup jasmine rice

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and cubed

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ginger powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

2 green onions, sliced

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Sesame seeds, for topping

Lemon or lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the jasmine rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

    Marinate the Tofu: In a bowl, combine the cubed tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the tofu is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

      Cook the Tofu: In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the marinated tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Make sure to flip the tofu pieces gently to avoid breaking them.

        Prepare the Avocado: While the tofu is cooking, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a bowl. Mash it gently with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to enhance the flavor and prevent browning.

          Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, place a scoop of the fluffy jasmine rice at the bottom. Top with the golden tofu cubes, a generous dollop of the mashed avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and the sliced green onions.

            Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and add fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of flavor. Serve with lemon or lime wedges on the side for extra zest.

              Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Creamy Avocado Tofu Rice Bowl!
