Peanut Butter Tofu Rice Bowl

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Peanut Butter Tofu Rice Bowl.

1. Step 1

   Start by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and ensures your rice is perfectly sticky. Combine the rinsed rice with 4 cups of water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed. Fluff it with a fork and set aside.

2. Step 2

   While the rice is cooking, let's whip up that delicious peanut sauce! In a separate saucepan, whisk together the peanut butter, 1 cup of hot water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and red pepper flakes. Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally. If the sauce gets too thick, feel free to add more hot water, a little at a time, until you reach a pourable consistency. This sauce is the star of the show, so make sure it’s just right!

3. Step 3

   Next, we’ll steam the spinach and tofu. Bring about an inch of water to a boil in a large pot. Place the baby spinach and bite-sized tofu pieces into a steamer basket and set it over the boiling water. Cover and steam for about 7 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted and the tofu is heated through. This step adds a lovely texture and freshness to your dish!

4. Step 4

   Now it’s time to assemble your bowl! Start with a generous scoop of the fluffy sushi rice as your base. Top it with the steamed spinach and tofu, and don’t be shy—drizzle that creamy peanut sauce all over. The combination of flavors and textures will have you coming back for seconds! Enjoy your Peanut Butter Tofu Rice Bowl, a meal that’s as satisfying as it is nourishing.
