Amy's Brown Rice Bowl with Crispy Tofu
Tonight we're building on the ready-made Amy's bowl by crisping its tofu and adding fresh greens to make it feel like a proper dinner instead of a reheated bowl. The sesame tahini sauce is already there, so we just need to make the tofu worthy of it.

To buy
- 2 cups fresh spinach or arugula
From your shelf
- 1 package Amy's brown rice and vegetables bowl
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil heats, open the Amy's bowl and drain the tofu from the sauce, patting it dry with a paper towel, then cut it into half-inch cubes.
- Once the oil shimmers, add the tofu cubes in a single layer and cook without moving them for three minutes, until the bottom is golden. Shake the pan to turn them and cook for another three minutes on another side.
- Continue cooking, shaking the pan every minute or so, until most of the tofu is crispy and browned, about four more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the tofu crisps, warm the rice, vegetables, and sauce from the bowl in the microwave or in a separate pan until hot throughout, about four minutes. Divide the fresh greens between two bowls.
- Top each bowl of greens with half the warmed rice and vegetables, then half the crispy tofu, spooning the sauce over everything.
Note Swap the fresh greens for shredded cabbage if that is what you have. Leftovers keep for one day in the refrigerator; reheat gently in a pan rather than the microwave so the tofu stays crisp. Serve with hot sauce on the side or a squeeze of lemon.
