• Start by cooking your brown rice to package instructions, as this is the longest step.
  1 cup uncooked brown rice

Tofu & Marinade

• Dice your pressed tofu into 1/1 1/2 inch cubes or triangles.

  *I prefer triangles for pan-frying as there less sides to cook!
  16 oz block extra firm tofu
• Whisk your Chili Crisp Marinade together in a medium-large bowl (big enough to fit your tofu).

  Add your tofu to the marinade. Gently mix until each piece of tofu is coated.

  Place the tofu with marinade in the fridge for 20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
  3 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon chili crisp sauce*, ½ tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon ginger paste or grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves minced ginger

Pan-Fry Veggies

• In a large pan, begin heating sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  1 tablespoon sesame oil, 3 cloves minced garlic
• Add in your bok choy pieces, snow peas, and carrots. Toss the veggies in the oil/garlic mixture. Cover for 1-2 minutes, then uncover and toss the veggies so each side gets evenly cooked. Cover again for a few minutes and repeat this step for a total of 3-5 minutes until the veggies have a nice sear.

  *If you want a little spice for your veggies too, I like to add a little more chili crisp on top.
  1 baby bok choy stalk, 1 cup julienned/shredded carrots, 1 heaping cup snow peas

Pan-Fry Tofu

• Remove veggies from pan. Over medium heat, add the marinated tofu (save marinade). Spread tofu evenly in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then flip. Continue cooking each side of the tube pieces until cooked to your liking.

  *I like to add in a splash of marinade over the tofu as its cooking to add more flavor and "crisp".

Assemble

• Serve Chili Crisp Tofu Bowls with rice at the base, then veggies and tofu. Drizzle leftover marinade on top if desired for more flavor!

  Sprinkle with diced green onion, sesame seeds, and cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
