Tofu "bento bowl"




This dish was adapted from a recent vegetarian times which called for cow's milk yogurt (I used soy) and some vegetables I'm not crazy about. It consists of rice on the bottom, topped with mixed greens, green onions, red onions, and marinated tofu, and sprinkled with sesame seeds. It was a bit too salty, but i know what to do to make it less so for next time. It was very good. Vegetarian Times calls it a "bento bowl."

rawsome!


So I am going to a raw vegan pot luck tonight and had to figure out how to "cook" something raw. Yeah, I eat raw veggies and fruits and salads, but I've never done raw per se. After an hour or so of fruitlessly looking online for recipes I could make on only a few days notice I gave up and just started thinking in terms of what I had in my fridge and came up with this. It's diced carrots, red bell peppers, and red onion, with avocado/garlic sauce wrapped in collard leaves. So far my taste testers say they are good! I'll see what the pot luck goers tonight think. I don't think it's terribly creative, but I am still pleased.
