Instructions
Crunchy Veggies
- Wash all your veggies under cold running water, pat them dry, cut the carrots using a julienne peeler (or cut them into sticks), slice the radish, and cut the peppers. Store all the veggies in glass containers.
Grains
- Cook your grains of choice according to your package instructions. If using quinoa, remember to rinse it well under running water first.
Tofu Bowls
- Preheat the oven to 390F (200C).
- Slice the tofu into thick slices and then into sticks.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the soy sauce, milk, and flour until you get a thick sticky consistency. Spread the sesame seeds on a plate.
- Dip each tofu stick into the mix, press it onto the sesame seeds, and coat on all sides, gently pressing to help the seeds stick. Place the tofu sticks on a baking sheet.
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes, chop the broccoli, and peel and slice the red onion. Place everything on the same baking sheet as the tofu, coat with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle everything with salt and pepper, and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring it well after 10-15 minutes.
Dressing
- Make a batch of this turmeric tahini dressing or your favorite dressing.
Store
- Store everything in glass containers. You can store each component separately or assemble your bowls into individual portions.
