Health Benefits of the Ingredients
Tofu
A staple in plant-based cooking, tofu is an excellent source of complete plant protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. It’s also rich in iron, calcium, and isoflavones, which can support heart and bone health.
Maple Soy Sriracha Glaze
- Maple syrup adds natural sweetness and antioxidants.
- Soy sauce brings umami richness and depth of flavour.
- Sriracha provides a gentle heat and metabolism-boosting capsaicin.
- Garlic enhances the flavour and offers antibacterial and immune-boosting benefits.
Avocado
A creamy source of healthy monounsaturated fats, avocado supports heart health, brain function, and skin hydration. It also balances the spicy and tangy notes in the dish beautifully.
Carrots
Carrots add crunch, colour, and a dose of beta-carotene, which converts into vitamin A for healthy vision and immune function.
Radishes
Peppery and refreshing, radishes are rich in vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, helping with hydration and detoxification.
Rice
Rice provides a satisfying, energy-giving base. You can use brown rice for extra fibre, or jasmine rice for a more aromatic flavour.
Peanut-Lime Sauce
The star of the dish — creamy, tangy, spicy, and nutty.
- Peanut butter provides a healthy source of fats and protein.
- Ginger aids digestion and adds warmth.
- Lime juice brightens everything and adds a zesty kick.
- Sriracha and soy sauce deepen the flavour for a well-balanced dressing.
Tips & Variations
- Make it gluten-free: Use tamari or coconut aminos as a substitute for soy sauce.
- Switch up the base: Try quinoa, soba noodles, or cauliflower rice.
- Add greens: Include steamed broccoli, spinach, or edamame for extra nutrients.
- Meal prep-friendly: Store tofu, rice, and sauce separately in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Boost crunch: Add shredded cabbage or cucumber ribbons for more texture.
