04

Divide the warm cooked rice evenly between two serving bowls.

Top the rice with the cooked tofu and edamame mixture.

06

Arrange the diced cucumber over the tofu and edamame.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, garnish with toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions. Ensure your tofu is well-pressed to achieve the best crispy texture.

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to substitute tofu with cooked chicken or shrimp. Brown rice can be used instead of white short-grain rice for added fiber. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a spicy kick.

Storage & Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It is best to store the dressing separately and add it just before serving to prevent the ingredients from becoming soggy.
