👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Tofu
Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into bite-sized cubes and place in a bowl.
2. Season and Coat
Add soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and cornstarch. Toss until the tofu is evenly coated.
3. Cook Until Crispy
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
4. Add the Chili Crunch
Drizzle the chili crunch oil over the tofu and stir gently until every piece is coated in the spicy, flavorful sauce.
5. Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the chili crunch oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and sesame oil.
6. Assemble the Bowls
Divide the rice among serving bowls. Arrange the crispy tofu, avocado slices, cucumber, edamame, and fresh cilantro on top.
7. Finish and Serve
Drizzle with the dressing and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy.
