Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 oz) block extra-firm tofu
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp pineapple juice
  • 2 tbsp mirin (Japanese rice wine)
  • 1 tsp Healthy On You® Spice Spice Baby Asian 6 Spice
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 8 oz mixed mushrooms (oyster, shiitake, beech, king, etc.)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp Healthy On You® Spice Spice Baby Asian 6 Spice
  • ½ tsp Healthy On You® Cini in a Bottle Porcini Sea Salt
  • ½ carrot, ribboned or shredded
  • 2 cups steamed kale
  • 2 cups cooked ramen noodles
  • Shredded purple cabbage (to taste)
  • Sesame seeds, minced red chiles, and chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan over high heat, combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, mirin, Asian 6 Spice, coconut sugar, and rice vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and stir until sugar dissolves (about 3 minutes).
  2. Marinate the tofu: Coat the tofu block front and back with the sauce, reserving some for brushing and serving. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Preheat grill: Heat grill to 350–400 °F (175–200 °C).
  4. Grill the tofu: Place tofu on the hot grill and cook for 8–10 minutes. Flip, brush with reserved sauce, and cook another 8–10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  5. Cook the mushrooms: Slice mushrooms and heat olive oil in a skillet. Add mushrooms and sear without turning for 5 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and Asian 6 Spice; stir-fry 5–8 minutes. Season with Porcini Sea Salt and set aside.
  6. Assemble the bowl: In each bowl, add 1 cup steamed kale. Cut tofu and place in center. Arrange mushrooms and ramen on either side. Add carrots and cabbage to the remaining spaces. Garnish with sesame seeds, minced red chiles, and cilantro.

Notes

  • Press the tofu well to remove excess moisture for a firmer texture.
  • Substitute ramen noodles with soba, rice noodles, or cooked rice.
  • Use any mix of vegetables or mushrooms you prefer.
  • Marinate tofu overnight for a deeper, more developed flavor.
  • Adjust garnish heat by varying the amount of red chile.
